The recommended daily fluid intake to prevent UTIs is typically around 2-3 liters, or 2,000-3,000 mL. Option D is the closest to this range and would indicate a correct understanding of the teaching. Option C is slightly above the recommended range, but still acceptable. Option B is correct in terms of the number but may be confusing in some countries that use a period instead of a comma as a decimal separator. Option A is incorrect as it is only 1 mL, which is not enough to prevent UTIs.
