Final Answer : A,B,D, Explanation :   A balance between fluid intake and output is essential to maintain homeostasis.Excesses or deficits of intake can lead to severe disorders.The kidneys are the principal regulator of fluid and electrolyte balance and are the primary source of fluid output.Specific hormones (e.g.,ADH,aldosterone)cause the kidneys to regulate the body's fluid and electrolyte balance.Oxygen saturation does not regulate fluids.It measures the saturation of oxygen on hemoglobin and is influenced by the partial pressure of oxygen,alveolar-arterial gradient lung disease,and the amount and type of hemoglobin (such as sickle cell anemia).
