Solution

The correct option is C Growing population and less rainfall
The Water scarcity is mostly man made due to excess population growth and mismanagement of water resources. Also rainfall is another factor for water scarcity because less rainfall means less water, and excessive rains cause flodding and which brings all sorts of debris and destroy water treatment installations.
