Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. It develops when the body can't produce enough insulin. Without enough insulin, the body begins to break down fat as fuel, which produces a buildup of acids in the bloodstream called ketones, leading to ketoacidosis.
