Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Analyze the phrases:
   - (A) "when there is a problem with"
   - (B) "for maintaining fluid levels"
   - (C) "one or more of the body’s mechanisms"
   - (D) "water retention occurs"

2. The phrase (D) "water retention occurs" is the main clause and should be placed at the beginning or near the beginning.

3. The phrase (A) "when there is a problem with" introduces a condition and should precede the cause.

4. The phrase (C) "one or more of the body’s mechanisms" is the subject related to the problem.

5. The phrase (B) "for maintaining fluid levels" describes the purpose of the mechanisms.

6. Arranging the phrases in the order D (main clause), A (condition), C (subject), B (purpose) forms the correct sentence:

"Water retention occurs when there is a problem with one or more of the body’s mechanisms for maintaining fluid levels."
