Answer 1

The correct option is B

Water is recycled through a natural phenomenon

The amount of water on the earth remains almost constant due to the water cycle. The water cycle is a natural continuous process though which water is circulated from oceans to the atmosphere due to evaporation, then to land in the form of rain which then flows back to oceans through rivers. This cycle keeps fresh water available for use of all living beings.
