Correct Answer: D

A. Smoking cessation is important for overall health, but it is not a primary lifestyle factor related to kidney stone formation.

B. Increased alcohol consumption is not recommended as a preventive measure for kidney stones. In fact, excessive alcohol intake can lead to dehydration, which is a risk factor for stone formation.

C. Regular exercise can be beneficial for overall health, but it is not a primary lifestyle factor related to kidney stone formation.

D. This is the correct answer. A high sodium diet can increase the excretion of calcium in the urine, leading to a higher risk of calcium-based kidney stones. Reducing sodium intake can help prevent stone formation.
