B Correct answer
Explanation

When our body loses large quantities of water due to excessive sweating, vomiting or through loose motions, the condition is called dehydration. In extreme cases of dehydration we must take Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS). The salts present in the ORS packet replace the vital salts that are lost. Dehydration can be life threatening.
