Solution

The correct option is D Agriculture
Most of the crops need to be watered on a regular basis, to get good yield. Thus, a large amount of water is required in agriculture. In India, about 90% of the available fresh water is used in agriculture sector.

However, in India, only about 4% of the available fresh water is used for domestic purposes like cooking, bathing, drinking, washing clothes, etc.
