Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Edema occurs when there is an accumulation of tissue fluid in the body. This can happen due to a variety of reasons, including heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. It can also occur due to an imbalance in the levels of certain hormones in the body. Drinking too little water is not generally a direct cause of edema.
