i think its D cause theres a lot of  the fresh water at ice caps

Earth surface is covered with 71% water bodies and the remaining portion is the land. Water found on the planet is also divided into many forms based on composition and usage.

The correct option is:

Option C) in rivers and lakes

This can be explained as:

  • The water found on the surface is not available for use, only some per cent is usable.

  • About 97% of water is found in the oceans which is very salty and not usable and only 3% of water is freshwater. This freshwater is also divided and not wholly usable.

  • Some part of the freshwater is found in glaciers and ice while others are in the ground. This further gets divided into rivers, lakes and snow.

Therefore less than 0.5% of freshwater is found in rivers and lakes.
