How does a freshwater bony fish osmoregulate?

Correct answer C. It produces large volumes of dilute urine and actively absorbs salts through its gills

Explanation

Its body fluids are hypertonic to fresh water, so water enters by osmosis. The kidneys remove excess water as dilute urine while gill cells actively take up lost salts.
