Solution

The correct answer is c. Interstitial fluid.

Explanation:

Interstitial fluid is the fluid that exists in the spaces between cells (interstitium) and is crucial for the exchange of nutrients, gases, and waste products between blood and cells. It is distinct from intracellular fluid, which is found within cells, and intravascular fluid, which is found within blood vessels. Transcellular fluid is a smaller component that includes specialized fluids like cerebrospinal fluid and synovial fluid. Thus, interstitial fluid specifically refers to the fluid found in the spaces between cells.
