How do urine and sweat excreted by animals contribute to continuity of the water cycle?

Correct answer: Their water can return to the cycle through runoff, infiltration, and evaporation

Correct answer: B. Urine and sweat contain substantial water released from an animal’s body. After reaching the environment, this water may enter soil, move as runoff, be taken up by plants, or evaporate from exposed surfaces; water vapour can later condense and return as precipitation. Dissolved salts and wastes may be transformed, diluted, or transported separately, so the entire excreted material does not simply become clean atmospheric vapour. A is wrong because water is not destroyed; it changes location or state. C ignores evaporation and infiltration. D is an exaggerated and permanent claim that does not describe the normal water cycle. The contribution of animal excretion is smaller than evaporation from oceans and land, but it is still part of water exchange. Memory cue: excreted water changes reservoirs; it does not vanish.
