• A. 25%
• B. 2.5%
• C. 10%
• D. 15%

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2.5%

The distribution of water on the Earth’s surface is extremely uneven. Only 2.5% of water on the surface is fresh; the remaining 97% resides in the ocean and is saline. Fresh water includes water in ice caps, glaciers, icebergs, ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, and underground water called groundwater.
