The correct option is D

The earth is covered with only 3% of fresh water. The freshwater is important for our survival. The sources of fresh water are glaciers, icebergs, lakes, rivers, ponds, groundwater, etc. Seawater and ocean water covers 97% of the earth's surface. Both of them are saline in nature and hence cannot be considered as the source of fresh water.
