Solution

The correct option is C 71%
The surface of the Earth is about 71% water and the remaining 29% is land. The vast majority of water on the Earth's surface is saline water in the oceans. The freshwater resources, such as water falling from the skies and moving into streams, rivers, lakes, and groundwater, provide people with the water they need every day to live.
