It is the most appropriate choice for the patient's condition due to its ability to treat syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), characterized by excessive release of antidiuretic hormone causing water retention. Demeclocycline acts as a competitive antagonist of ADH, helping to correct the water imbalance. Desmopressin (A) is a synthetic form of ADH and would exacerbate the condition. Hydrochlorothiazide (B) and Amiloride (D) are diuretics that would further worsen the water imbalance in SIADH by increasing urine output.
