Solution

The correct option is C Intravenously
Children and adults who are severely dehydrated should be treated by emergency personnel arriving in an ambulance or in a hospital emergency room, where they can receive salts and fluids through a vein (intravenously) rather than by mouth. Intravenous hydration provides the body with water and essential nutrients much more quickly than oral solutions, do something that's essential in life-threatening situations.
So, the correct answer is 'Intravenously'
