    Your answer is D) 30 L

    Explanation:

    (Here's the explanation that I found on a website so Dont copy). You can estimate the fluid deficit by. Body weight in kg x% dehydration = Liters needed to re-establish hydration. 950 pounds / 2.2 pounds per kilogram (pounds cancel out) = 431.8 kg (will round up to 432 kg) Then multiply by percent dehydrated: 432kg x 0.07 (which 7%) = 30 Liters.
