Why do we keep drinking even when our bodies are deprived of water?

Correct answer: D. All of the above

  • A. Wide range of drinks available stimulate desire to drink
  • B. We drink more when offered variety as opposed to only one type of drink
  • C. Eating can stimulate drinking behavior
  • D. All of the above

Explanation

Drinking can continue beyond physiological water need because variety increases intake and eating often stimulates drinking. These effects together make all three statements relevant, so the inclusive option is appropriate.
