• D. Flood

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Water pollution
B Drought
C Wastage of water

Water crisis is usually caused due to the unavailability of fresh water. Pollution and wastage of water reduces the amount of fresh water available on the Earth's surface.

Rainfall is a source of fresh water. Lack of rainfall for a prolonged time in a particular place will cause drought, which is a reason for water crisis. However, excessive rainfall leads to flood.
