Solution
The correct option is C Drought
If it does not rain enough in a region, the soil continues to lose water by evaporation, transpiration, etc and the groundwater level keeps dropping. As the soil becomes dry, it is no more possible to draw underground water through pumps and wells. This results in a scarcity of water for general use and agriculture. Such a situation in which a region has a scaricty of water is called drought.
