Solution

The correct option is D Assertion and the reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Water is one of the most precious substances for the existence of life. Since water plays a pivotal role in supporting life by either serving as a habitat or by being involved in a number of biochemical reactions, it is a valuable resource and must hence be protected. If we fail to conserve water, a healthy water supply may not be available which leads to severe drought and other dramatic consequences.
