Solution

The correct option is C Concrete roads

Dumping of waste in lakes and ponds makes the water polluted. This polluted water cannot be used by humans resulting in water shortage.

The ever increasing population uses up water much before it can replenish itself. So, water shortage is experienced.

Concrete roads are made up of cement. This cement acts as a barrier and does not allow rainwater to seep into the ground causing shortage in water.
