Solution

The correct option is B False
  • Only about three percent of the water on Earth is freshwater.
  • Of this, only about 1.2 percent can be used as drinking water.
  • The rest is trapped in glaciers, ice caps, and permafrost, or buried deep in the ground.
  • The water we use comes from sources such as rivers, lakes, ponds, wells, and springs.

Hence, the given statement is false.
