OptionA

Explanation:

Yes, Water may not prevent constipation because constipation is the difficulty in the egesting the undigested food which is basically due to lack of roughage or fibre inside our body. Roughage facilitates the bowel movement across the alimentary canal.

Let's know about the rest options:

Drinking sufficient Water prevents dehydration. Dehydration is the lack of water inside our body which is caused due to long exposure to the sun, heavy work etc.

It maintains the homeostasis by oozing out of the skin in the form of sweat and getting evaporated. Evaporation of sweat takes away the heat from the body and hence, cools the body.

It prevents the skin from drying up by hydrating each and every cell with sufficient amount of water. It will help the skin to remove toxins out, and hence gives it a radiant glow.
