Solution
The correct option is A 3
The percentage of freshwater available on the surface of land is 3.
Freshwater makes up a very small fraction of all water on the planet. While nearly 70 percent of the world is covered by water, only 3 percent of it is fresh. The rest is saline and ocean-based. Even then, just 1 percent of our freshwater is easily accessible, with much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields.
