Excessive perspiration, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a medical condition that causes a person to sweat more than necessary. This can occur even when the body does not need to cool down, and can lead to discomfort and embarrassment. Dehydration (A) can occur when the body loses more fluid than it takes in, but it is not directly caused by excessive perspiration. Hypothermia (C) is a condition in which the body's core temperature drops too low, and it is typically caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures or immersion in cold water. Anhidrosis (D) is the lack or absence of sweating, and is typically not caused by excessive perspiration. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is B, hyperhidrosis.
