Answer 1

The right answer is Cells shrivel as water moves out of them.

Water intoxication (hyperhydration) occurs when too much water consumption causes a decrease in the concentration of electrolytes in the blood, partly because the electrolytes are eliminated in excessive amounts, on the other hand by increasing blood volume without sufficient electrolytes. When the intercellular (extracellular) medium is too diluted relative to the intracellular medium, the osmotic pressure induced by this difference can cause the cells concerned to explode (the cell wall ruptures under pressure), in the first place the nerve cells, which causes disorders brain that can be severe or even fatal.
