A female patient has unexplained severe hypernatremia (plasma Na+ = 167 mmol/L) and complains of frequent urination and large urine volumes. A urine specimen reveals that the Na+ concentration is 15mmol/L (very low) and the osmolarity is 155 mOsm/L (very low). Laboratory tests reveal: plasma renin activity = 3 ng angiotensin I/ml/hr (normal = 1.0), plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH) = 30 pg/ml (normal = 3 pg/ml), and plasma aldosterone = 20 ng/dL (normal = 6 ng/dL). Which of the following is the most likely reason for her hypernatremia?

Following are given some prediction about stress response which ultimately generate ROS;
a) Stress response activates the scavenging mechanism by ROS , these ROS is responsible for activating self-generation  mechanism by using RBOH
b) ROS have a negative effect on plant growth,  development,  and  yield
c) Almost every stress leads to the activation of ROS and its signal transduction
d) ROS indirectly induce acclimation mechanisms
Which of the following is the correct prediction about ROS activated by stress response?
