• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Ocean water is saline, i.e. it contains salt.
• It cannot be used for drinking as it will create electrolyte imbalance in our bodies and lead to renal failure.
• It cannot be used for washing clothes or utensils, since salt will get deposited on them.
• It cannot be used for agricultural purposes since crops cannot be grown in salt water.
• Therefore, saline water cannot be used for domestic purposes such as drinking as it will affect our health.

Hence the given statement is true.
