  • (A) Sugar
  • (B) Calcium phosphate
  • (C) Potassium chloride
  • (D) Sodium chloride
Correct Answer - Option(D)

Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

During dehydration, the body loses water and essential electrolytes, primarily sodium chloride (NaCl). Sodium plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction.

  • Sugar → ❌ Not primarily lost during dehydration.
  • Calcium phosphate → ❌ Important for bones, but not significantly lost in dehydration.
  • Potassium chloride → ❌ Potassium loss can occur, but sodium chloride is lost in larger amounts.

Thus, Sodium chloride is the correct answer.
