Solution

The correct option is C potable
Water from natural bodies can contain micro-organisms that can cause diseases. So, it is essential to purify water before drinking. Water which is suitable for drinking is called potable water. Potable water has been filtered, cleaned, or treated to meet the standards for drinking water, meaning that it is reasonably clear of contaminants and harmful bacteria. This makes the water safe for drinking and cooking.
