Answer:

c) intracellular fluid

Explanation:

Body fluids are dilute and watery solutions and contain the dissolved chemicals that are found inside cells as well as surrounding them. The body fluid which is present within cells is called intracellular fluid (ICF). The fluid present outside body cells is extracellular fluid (ECF). The extracellular and intracellular body fluids of individual cells are separated from each other by the plasma membrane.

The intracellular fluid makes cytosol which is a fluid component of the cytoplasm in which the organelles are suspended. In lean adults, body fluids make between 55% and 60% of total body mass in females and males, respectively.

Around 45% and 40% of the total body mass of males and females is solid. Out of the total body fluid, 2/3 is constituted by intracellular fluid while rest 1/3 of the body fluid is extracellular fluids. The interstitial fluid makes 80% of the total extracellular fluid while the rest 20% is blood plasma.

Arthropods invaded land about 100 million years before vertebrates did so. This most clearly implies that
horrorfan [7]

The correct answer is - A) arthropods evolved before vertebrates did.

The arthropods have evolved much earlier than the vertebrates. They were on the scene millions of years before the earliest marine forms of the vertebrates. Because the arthropods were on the scene much earlier, they managed to use the newly formed suitable environment on the land. They were initially marine, but with only slight adaptations they were able to adapt to the terrestrial life.

Once the arthropods got out of the marine environment and started to take up the niches in the terrestrial environment, they experienced a real explosion in their evolution and diversification. They were the dominant land dwellers, and because of the lack of competition, as well as the higher levels of oxygen, they managed to reach pretty big sizes for their standards. Unfortunately for them, their brain capacity is limited to a very low level, so once the competition came on the scene, they were quickly pushed from the throne as the dominant terrestrial creatures.
