D Correct answer
Explanation

The cholera pathogen destroys the intestinal epithelium, leading to loss of body fluid across the mucosa, copious diarrhea, massive dehydration, and death within a few days. However, if patients can be kept hydrated for those few days, epithelial replacement by stem cell division will restore normal function.
