C Correct answer
Explanation

A desiccant is a substance that absorbs moisture and promotes dehydration - exactly what salt does during meat preparation by drawing out water. The example sentence correctly connects alcohol consumption with feeling dehydrated. The other options are incorrect: disobedient relates to not following rules, soporific means sleep-inducing, and dawdle means to waste time or linger.
