a

Explanation:

• Perspiration (sweating): It is a well - known process by which the body loses fluid. Sweat is mainly composed of water, along with some salts and other minor components.
• Respiration: When we breathe out (exhale), we lose a small amount of water vapor. This is because the air we inhale is moistened in the respiratory tract, and when we exhale, some of that moisture is lost as water vapor.
• Transpiration: This is a process mainly associated with plants, not with the human body's fluid - loss mechanisms.
• Dilation: Dilation refers to the widening of a body part (such as blood vessels), and it is not a method of fluid loss from the body.

Answer:

A. perspiration and respiration
