Answer 1

The correct option is A Trade of a commodity produced using water

Virtual water refers to the water consumed to produce an agricultural or industrial product.

For example, if we use 1,340 cubic metres of water to produce one metric tonne of wheat, then it is considered that the 1,340 cubic metres of water is also exported.
