• B. Storing water in tanks and dams.
• C. Using water indiscriminately.
• D. Planting trees to increase humidity.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Using water indiscriminately.

To reduce the occurrence of droughts, we can reduce our use of water. We can also plant crops that require less water to grow. We can plant trees that increase humidity which increases the chance of rain, and we can store water in tanks and dams to mitigate the effects of low rainfall in a given period of time.
