Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Dysuria refers to difficult, painful or uncomfortable urination. Anuria is the absence of urine production. Enuresis is involuntary urination, especially at night. Nocturia is the need to wake up frequently during the night to urinate. None of these terms fit the definition of difficult or painful urination as well as dysuria does.
