Solution

The correct options are
B Glaciers
C Icesheets
D Groundwater
More than 97% of the water present on the Earth's surface is found in water bodies like oceans and seas, and is too salty for human use.

The remaining 3% of the water is in the form of ice sheets, glaciers, and is also present under the ground. A very small percentage is available as fresh water for human use.
