Solution

The correct options are
B Oceans
D Seas
About 71% of the earth's surface is covered with water. Out of that 97% of water is present in seas and oceans. They have high content of dissolved salt. Hence they are not the source of fresh water. Whereas water present in rivers, ponds and lakes are usually freshwater used for household purposes.
