Choice A is incorrect as a capillary refill time of 3 seconds is within normal limits.
Choice C may be seen in mild to moderate dehydration, but severe dehydration would involve a greater weight loss.
Choice D is not specific to dehydration, as tear production can still occur even in cases of dehydration.
