Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Degradable but maintainable

Water is a renewable resource which can be replenished due to the activity of rainfall. The resource can be degraded due to the addition of the pollutants from the sources like industries, domestic, agricultural, etc. The wastes which are added to the water bodies can be cleaned using the help of microbes in the treatment plants. So, water resource is degradable but the purity of the water can be maintained.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
