Correcting hyponatremia involves increasing the levels of sodium in the body, so the typical goal is to raise the levels by 4-8 mEq/L in a 24-hour period.

It is important to correct hyponatremia at a safe and gradual pace to avoid complications. Therefore, the most appropriate and common goal is option B.
