Question

The majority of the world’s freshwater is found in:

• A. Rivers
• B. Lakes
• C. Glaciers and Ice Caps
• D. Groundwater

Hint:

Remember: Glaciers and ice caps hold the majority of Earth's freshwater, not rivers or lakes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The majority of the world’s freshwater is stored in glaciers and ice caps, which account for approximately 68.7% of all freshwater on Earth.
Rivers and lakes only make up a small fraction of the total freshwater available, with groundwater being another significant source.
While groundwater is a crucial source for drinking water and irrigation, glaciers and ice caps contain the largest proportion of freshwater.
