Answer 2

Explanation:

Man can live without water for just a very few days but cannot survive without oxygen for few minutes that's because oxygen is the main component on the Earth and without oxygen we cannot imagine lives on this planet.

Water is also very important component but it's only for thirst and health whereas oxygen is for life.
