Solution

The correct option is A

The extracellular fluid has a very low concentration of sodium.


Extracellular fluid differs from intracellular fluid (fluid within the cells) in that it generally has a high concentration of sodium and low concentration of potassium, while intracellular fluid is high in potassium and low in sodium.
