Answer:

C. The greatest amount of water loss occurs via production of urine by the kidneys.

Explanation:

Water loss through the production of urine by the kidneys is referred to as sensible water loss.

The kidneys can produce up to one litre of urine a day, sometimes even more or less and this depends on the body's needs which can in turn be influenced by the metabolic rate or the temperature of the environment.
