Answer 1

Answer:

option C.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C.

Drinking at least 6 Liters of water can help in the intoxication of the body.

When a person drinks a lot of water it mixes with the blood and dilutes the electrolyte basically sodium present in the water.

And the balance between sodium and water should be maintained.

If the sodium level decrease the water enters into the cell which leads to swelling of the cell.

When this happens it can produce dangerous and life-threatening effects.
