Correct Answer:

Description:

No dehydration → Skin goes back immediately. Some dehydration → There is a slight delay, but the skin has to go back within 2 seconds. Severe dehydration → The skin goes back after 2 seconds. From this, we can rule out No dehydration but we cannot differentiate between some dehydration and severe dehydration as the specified time is not given in the question
