based on the resource use and conservation virtual lab, which tactic can do the most to keep the water debt less than the water supply?

a. outlawing drip irrigation systems
b. outlawing water features in gardens

To keep water debt < supply, we reduce water use. Thermal power plants use large amounts of water. Replacing them (option C) cuts significant water consumption. Other options: A and D (drip irrigation is efficient, outlawing/replacing it would increase use), B (water features in gardens use less water than power plants).

Answer:

C. Replacing thermal power plants
