Answer: d. severe hypotension.

Explanation: Prerenal acute kidney injury is a condition in which a sudden reduction in the flow of blood to kidney occurs. This leads to the loss of kidney function.

In the severe hypotention the blood pressure becomes slow thus the blood flow required to be transferred to the vital organs becomes slow. Prenatal acute kidney injury may occur due to severe hypotention.
