The right answer is E. Sodium  (with 140mmol/L)

Sodium is the most important element in the blood and extracellular liquids of the body.The needs of an adult subject are of the order of 1 to 2 g of sodium per day. The normal diet is much richer than our actual needs, about 4g, so it can largely compensate for the needs of an athlete or a runner.
Losses are majoritarly by feces and sweat. The kidney is able to reabsorb almost all the sodium that is filtered: urinary losses can be tiny.

The transport of molecules of a particular solute from inside an animal cell across the cell membrane to the extracellular fluid
Leona [35]

Answer:

the concentration of the solute is lower inside the cell than outside it

Explanation:

This question depicts the process of ACTIVE TRANSPORT, which is the movement of a substance against concentration gradient, hence, requires energy input (ATP) to occur. In this case, transporting a solute from inside an animal cell to the extracellular fluid across the cell membrane always requires energy.

This is because the concentration of solute inside the cell is much lower than that of the extracellular fluid, hence, to move the solutes against this concentration gradient (low to high), energy in form of ATP is required.
