Answer:

The correct answer is drink seawater and secrete excess ions mainly through their nasal salt glands.

Explanation:

Avians or Birds that live in marine environments are often referred to as seabirds. They lack access to fresh drinking water.

Seabirds have specialised nasal salt glands found in just above their eyes which is used for drinking seawater and secreting excess ions. This makes them well adapted to life in a marine habitat.
