Solution

The correct options are
A Rain
B Well
D River
Freshwater is naturally occuring water, containing very less amount of salt in it. Rain, river, and groundwater are few sources of freshwater. Wells extract groundwater and hence, can be considered as a source of freshwater.

However, seawater contains about 3.5% of salts dissolved in it and hence, it is not a source of freshwater.
