Answer 4

it's the intracellular fluid, as this is what fills all of the body's cells!  there is more of this in the body than anything else.

Answer 5

Extracellular fluid (ECF) usually denotes all body fluid outside of cells. The remainder is called intracellular fluid.

In some animals, including mammals, the extracellular fluid can be divided into two major subcompartments, interstitial fluid and blood plasma.

Interstitial fluid (or tissue fluid, or intercellular fluid) is a solution which bathes and surrounds the cells of multicellular animals

Intra cellular fluid is situated within cells.

Of these options the immediate environment of the cells in the body is the extracellular fluid  = specifically the interstitial fluid and so this has to be maintained by homeostasis for each cell.

Answer = "C".

Answer 6

A) intracellular fluid
