Detrusor instability is seen as urge incontinence, patient has urgency and leakage.

Firtly I selected A also but I did Swanson and understood the term.

The option for neurologic is ruled out,coz of no clear history of neurological probs in past,no spinal cord injuries, MS etc..

Autonomic neuropathy due to hyperglycemia is also ruled out,coz her BS is not that high to cause a urinary incontinence..

UTI:- normal WBC, contaminated with bacteria.--ruled out

OB.URO:- clearly mentions no adnexal masses to produce pressure effects..

The only left out is detrusor instabilty(and DETRUSOR INSTABILTY is the MCC of urinary incontinence in ELDERLY)

So i am going for-------->A..
