Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In end-stage renal failure, kidneys cannot regulate fluid balance, often producing little to no urine. Weighing the patient daily is the most reliable way to assess fluid status, as weight changes reflect fluid gain or loss (1 kg ≈ 1 L). Monitoring urine specific gravity is less useful with minimal urine output. Measuring intake and output helps but is less precise due to insensible losses (e.g., sweating). Bowel movements don't directly indicate fluid balance. Daily weight provides a consistent, objective measure, critical for managing fluid overload or dehydration in this population, guiding treatment like dialysis.
