B): Dark-colored urine indicates concentrated urine due to dehydration. When the body lacks fluids, the kidneys reabsorb water to maintain blood volume, resulting in concentrated urine.

Choices:
A: Moist skin is not expected in dehydration as the body conserves water by reducing sweat production.
C: Distended neck veins are not typically seen in dehydration, as decreased fluid intake or excessive fluid loss leads to decreased venous return.
