Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three major subdivisions of extracellular fluid found in the body are plasma (the liquid part of blood), lymph (a clear fluid that circulates in the lymphatic system), and interstitial fluid (the fluid that surrounds and bathes cells in tissues). Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it includes all three of these subdivisions. Option A only includes blood, plasma, and lymph, leaving out interstitial fluid, and options B and E include cytosol, which is actually a component of intracellular fluid, not extracellular fluid. Option C includes only blood, lymph, and cytosol, also leaving out interstitial fluid.
