b50-55 %
c75-80 %
d65-70 %
✓ Correct answer: d) 65-70 %
ExplanationCorrect answer: Option D Water is the most abundant component of living cells, making up 60–95% of a cell’s total mass, depending on the cell type.In the human body, water is a major constituent of both intracellular fluid (inside cells) and extracellular fluid (blood plasma, lymph, and interstitial fluid).On average, about 65– 70% of the human body weight is water.This high water content is essential for maintaining cell turgor, biochemical reactions, nutrient transport, and temperature regulation.Organs like the brain, kidneys, and muscles contain a higher percentage of water, whereas bones and fat have lower water content.Water also provides a medium for enzymes to function and facilitates the movement of solutes, gases, and waste products.Thus, considering the average water content in the human body, the correct option is D – 65– 70%.
