Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The major source of water to the body is through the consumption of beverages and foods. Water is present in most beverages and many foods, and this is the primary way in which the body takes in water. While some water is also produced as a byproduct of metabolism (choice B), it is a relatively minor source compared to the water obtained from beverages and foods. Inhaled water vapor (choice C) can also provide some water to the body, but it is not a significant source. Subcutaneous fluid absorption (choice D) does not provide any water to the body.
