Solution

The correct option is C Egypt
Another 1.6 billion people in countries live under economic water shortage, meaning the countries lack the necessary infrastructure to take water from rivers and aquifers. Middle eastern countries like Egypt fall prey to this as a result of less access to water resources. Western Sahara in Africa also faces the same issue.
