C Correct answer
Explanation

The human body is approximately 60% water by weight. This percentage varies slightly by age (infants are about 75% water), gender, and body composition (lean body mass has more water than fatty tissue), but 60% is the widely accepted average for adult humans. Water is essential for nearly all bodily functions.
