Explanation:

Question 1

Plants need water for photosynthesis and other processes, animals and humans need water for survival (drinking, bodily functions, etc.). So water is needed by both plants and animals/humans.

In urban areas, water supply for consumption comes from water treatment plants (after treating water to make it safe). Air and fire are not sources of water supply here.

Irrigation is the supply of water to crops, sewage is waste water. Water Scarcity is defined as the lack of sufficient fresh water resources.

Answer:

(c) both (a) and (b)
