• B. The body absorbs less water when the temperature is low
• C. The body temperature also decreases, resulting in the formation of more quantity of urine

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

There is reduced loss of water through sweat

When too much water is lost through sweating, your blood volume decreases. This decreases blood pressure which, in turn, reduces blood flow between the muscles and skin. Because less blood reaches the skin, heat loss is reduced and the body overheats. So, the correct option is "A" (There is reduced loss of water through sweat).
