Solution

The correct option is A True
Water covers approximately 71% of the Earth’s surface. It plays an important role for all known forms of life.
Only 3% of the available Earth’s water is freshwater.
About 67% of that freshwater is locked in the form of ice in glaciers and snow. The remaining amount of freshwater occurs as surface water and groundwater.
