Question 439Deck Safety70% to pass
Drinking salt water will _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) dehydrate you.
Drinking salt water will dehydrate you because it has a higher salt concentration than the body's fluids. This causes the body to lose more water than it takes in, leading to dehydration. The other options are incorrect - drinking salt water does not prevent seasickness, protect against heat cramps, or become safe when mixed with fresh water. In fact, drinking salt water can be very dangerous and should be avoided, as it can lead to serious health issues like electrolyte imbalance and organ damage.
