The answer would be: d. 320 ml

Dehydration is a condition when the body fluid is depleted. Severe dehydration could be dangerous as depleted blood volume will decrease the oxygen delivery to the body. The treatment for dehydration would be fluid. It could be taken orally or intravenously. Bolus crystalloid fluid will be needed in a severe case to improve the condition of the patient.
