Hydronephrosis is the condition where urine is blocked and backs up, leading to distension of the renal pelvis. Hypospadias is a condition where the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis rather than the tip. Diuresis is an increased output of urine. Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder where cysts form on the kidneys. None of these conditions fit the given symptoms as well as hydronephrosis.
