Solution

The correct option is C Scanty rainfall
The water we use for our daily necessities is called freshwater. The amount of freshwater present on earth is very small around 1% of the total water present on earth. However, rainwater is one of the major sources of fresh water, and sometimes due to scanty rainfall, it causes a shortage of water.
