C)Diuretic
D)Nitrogenous
E)Androgen

Accepted Answer

A diuretic is a substance that increases the production and elimination of urine from the body. Nephrosis is a condition when the filtration units of the kidneys are damaged and cannot properly eliminate waste products, thus reducing urine output. Hematuria refers to the presence of blood in urine, which may indicate an underlying pathology but does not necessarily increase urine output. Nitrogenous compounds are waste products that are eliminated in urine, but they do not directly increase urine output. Androgens are hormones that promote the development of male sexual characteristics, and they do not have a direct effect on urine output.
