@SeaTurtle113 can you help me?

seaturtle113 · Answer

I'm pretty sure it's C.

anonymous · Answer

I'd say B.  Osmosis would cause water to move from inside the fish (low salt concentration) to the outside environment (higher salt concentration)

anonymous · Answer

C is saying that the salt concentration is higher inside the fish, which isn't as likely
