Answer: Water

Reason :

  • The water occupies most of the space in the water - it accounts for a total of 70% of the cell volume and hence is most abundant.
  • It is necessary for many chemical reactions in the body as well as for maintaining the correct osmotic pressure in the cell.
  • Water is also a natural solvent and helps to dissolve many nutrients in it as well and carry them from one cell to another through the blood as it is easily diffusible.
