• A. 0.75%
• B. 1.97%
• C. 2.1%
• D. 2.5%

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1.97%

• 70% of the Earth's surface is water. Of this 70%, 98% is salt water, leaving 2% as fresh water. Of the 2% that is fresh, about 90% is frozen(i.e 1.97%of the total water). This frozen water is locked up in the Antarctic ice sheets and glaciers on the Alps, etc.
• Hence Water occurs in the frozen state over the land is 1.97%.
• So, the correct answer is '1.97%'.
