The correct answer is:

- because water is a basis for human life

In Daoism, acting like water means being adaptable, flexible, and flowing with the natural course of events. Water is seen as a symbol of harmony, balance, and humility. It does not resist or force its way, but rather adjusts according to the circumstances. By following the teachings of Daoism and acting like water, individuals seek to align themselves with the natural flow of the world and find inner peace.
