A) An incompetent sphincter results in a constant dribbling of urine.
B) Because of a neurological lesion, the patient has no control over when the bladder empties.
C) The patient's bladder overfills, leading to overflow incontinence without the patient's knowledge.
D) Due to a lesion, the patient experiences inappropriate urges to void that are unrelated to the quantity of urine in the bladder.
