Fluid Distribution
The process by which fluids are circulated and maintained throughout the body's tissues and organs.
Homeostasis
The ability of a living organism to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.
Fluid Catabolism
The process of breaking down fluids in the body, often related to the metabolic degradation of water and other molecules.

Final Answer :
A,B,C
Explanation :
Fluid homeostasis is the dynamic interplay of three processes: fluid intake and absorption,fluid distribution,and fluid output.Our daily fluid output consists of hypotonic sodium-containing fluid.To maintain fluid balance,we must have an intake of an equivalent amount of hypotonic sodium-containing fluid (water plus foods with some salt).Fluid is not catabolized (broken down into components to release energy)in the body.
