No dehydration → Skin goes back immediately.
Some dehydration → There is a slight delay, but the skin has to go back within 2 seconds.
Severe dehydration → The skin goes back after 2 seconds.
From this, we can rule out No dehydration but we cannot differentiate between some dehydration and severe dehydration as the specified time is not given in the question
