Solution

The correct option is B Sodium
Sodium is the most abundant mineral found in the extracellular fluids. It plays an important role in maintaining water balance in blood and tissues. Excess of sodium in the body causes hypernatremia with the loss of a large amount of water in the body. While too little sodium can also be dangerous for the body.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
