Solution

The correct option is B Polar ice
The Oceans hold about 97% of water, and the Glaciers and polar ice caps hold another 2%. The polar ice caps contain 77% of the world's fresh water supply and another 22% is trapped in the ground which leaves only 3% of the world’s fresh water supply in lakes and rivers.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
