Answer

The correct answer is **c) Helps with fluid balance**.<br /><br />While sodium does play a minor role in bone health, its primary function is maintaining fluid balance in the body. Options b) and d) relate more to other nutrients like biotin (hair and skin) and vitamin C (resistance to infection).<br />
