The correct option is A May have run
The correct answer is Option D.
MAY HAVE RUN indicates the possibility of having no water in hundred years' time.
The speaker is talking of such a possibility only.
Thus Option D is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
MUST HAVE RUN indicates compulsion and certainty.
MIGHT HAVE RUN indicates the past tense.
SHOULD HAVE RUN indicates an obligation or duty.
