Answer: Option C) "excludes agricultural runoff"
Explanation:
The Clean Water Act (CWA) established in 1972 is a federal law made in United States to address the adverse effect of water pollution. The act was aimed to maintain the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters.
A major shortcoming of the Clean Water Act (CWA) is agricultural runoff which is a nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. Large scale agriculture activities have an adverse impact on groundwater and surfacewater as they carry heavy fertilizer, pesticide and water inputs.
The federal CWA establish water quality standards and total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) to asses the pollution caused by agricultural water with the help of regulatory mechanisms.
Hence, the correct option C.

Answer:
A balance of bodily fluids will prevent the development of diseases, the deterioration of body organs, and death of animals.
Explanation:
Water, blood, saliva, sweat and other body fluids should be kept constant and balanced through homeostasis because the sharp rise and fall of these fluids will prevent the organs of the body from operating optimally and this can lead to the development of diseases and consequent death. For example, water is a vital fluid. Too much of water in the system can lead to diseases like Edema where the legs begins to swell because there is no way of letting out body fluids from the body.
Too little water in the body can lead to dehydration and the increase in blood pressure because of the excessive concentration of solutes. The digestive and urinary systems have mechanisms to keep this fluid under control.
Aristotle based his classification system off of observations of animals, and used physical characteristics to divide animals into two groups
Transpiration: process in which plants release water vapor into the air
Evaporation: process in which water changes to a vapor
Precipitation: water that falls from clouds toward the ground
Condensation: water vapor that cools down to form water droplets
Groundwater: flowing of rainwater downhill to form streams and rivers
