A Correct answer
Explanation

Water is the most essential nutrient for animal survival and health. Cattle can survive weeks without food but only days without water. Water is required for all physiological processes: digestion, nutrient transport, temperature regulation, waste removal, and milk production (milk is ~87% water. While protein, vitamins, and minerals are vital, water is the immediate survival requirement. Option D has a typo spelling 'Minerals' as 'Minerials'.
