Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is a first-line treatment for diarrhea, particularly in cases of dehydration or risk of dehydration. It involves administering a solution that replaces lost fluids and electrolytes, such as oral rehydration salts (ORS) or other homemade solutions like sugar and salt water.

ORT is effective in treating diarrhea because it:

  • Replaces lost fluids and electrolytes

  • Helps restore hydration and electrolyte balance

  • Reduces the risk of dehydration and its complications
