The correct answer is A., B. and C.

Here's a brief explanation for each point:

  • A. Failure to drink enough water can lead to dehydration.: This is true, as staying hydrated is crucial for overall health and bodily functions, especially in hot weather and during exercise.
  • B. Heat stroke often occurs when the body is dehydrated.: This is also true. Dehydration can impair the body's ability to regulate temperature, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses like heat stroke.
  • C. Failure to drink enough water can lead the body to not producing sweat.: This statement is correct as well, because adequate hydration is necessary for the body to produce sweat, which helps to cool it down during heat and exercise.

D is incorrect because dehydration typically does not lead to increased shivering; in fact, shivering is more commonly associated with being cold.
