The Water We Use

Question 3 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Water intoxication occurs when _______.

Answer
A
the body’s electrolytes are out of balance
B
a person has a high body mass
C
in people engaged in low-impact activities
D
all of the above

Explanation

Water intoxication happens when drinking too much water dilutes the sodium and other electrolytes in the blood, throwing the body’s electrolytes out of balance. A person’s body mass or doing low-impact activities does not, by itself, define water intoxication. The correct choice is “the body’s electrolytes are out of balance.”
