4 A person weighing 75 kg contains 45 dm3 of body fluid.
Approximately 70% of this body fluid is contained within cells as intracellular fluid.
Researchers investigating the effects of water content on cell metabolism concluded that
metabolic activity is significantly inhibited when ~20% of its intracellular fluid has been lost.
Which option shows the volume of intracellular fluid at which metabolic activity of cells in this
person would be significantly inhibited?
