A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Calories are made up of 3 nutrients present in the human body. Those are carbs, fat, and protein. Filtered water is devoid of these nutrients and therefore contains no calories.

Detailed explanation-2: -You’ll want to get in one milliliter (ml) of water for every one calorie you consume. For example, perhaps your weight maintenance calorie target is 2, 200 calories/day. Then your water intake (from both food and liquid sources) should be approximately 2, 200 ml/day (just over two quarts).

Detailed explanation-3: -Water carries nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body. Water is the main property of blood, which carries nutrients to cells and carries wastes out of the body. Water helps convert food into energy. Water protects and cushions vital organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Alcohol is not considered to be a nutrient (because it’s not required by the body to perform its basic functions), but it does provide 7 calories of energy for every gram we consume. Vitamins, minerals and water do not provide any calories, but they are still essential nutrients.
