Answer 2

The percentage of fresh water on earth is (d)3%.

Explanation:

Earth is covered by a total of 71% water and 29% land. A total of 96.5% of this water is covered by oceans.

• The water found in the oceans is too salty for drinking or farming purposes. This water cannot be used in the industries too except for cooling purposes.
• So it only comes down to 3% of freshwater out of the 96.5%.
• But 2.5% of the 3% is also stuck in glaciers, soil, and ice caps which makes it unavailable for drinking purposes.
• In all, we humans have 0.3% of water to ourselves in liquid form.

Thus we conclude that the total percentage of fresh water on earth is 3%.
