Answer: The correct answer is A) Cells swell as water moves into them.

Due to drinking of water during exercise, the concentration of sodium ( solute)  in the blood becomes lower than the normal. The concentration of solvent ( water) will be high outside the cells.

When the body tries to restore homeostasis, the cells swell as the water moves from outside the cell to inside. This is because water always moves from an area of its high concentration to the area of its low concentration. As the solute concentration is low and solvent ( water) concentration is high outside the cell. Therefore, water moves in the cells making them swell.

Thus, the correct option is A) Cells swell as water moves into them.

What geological theory explains how llamas and camels, close relatives, might be found on different sides of the world?
Pavlova-9 [17]
The answer is continental drift. 
Continental drift is the geological theory that explains how continents move through Earth's surface. All continents were once connected as one supercontinent Pangea. On that supercontinent, many related species, such as llamas and camels, lived together on one location. But after continents spread apart, related species were separated on different continents and adapted to different conditions
