The true statement about fresh water is: **Less than 1% of all water on Earth is safe and available to drink.**
While Earth is covered by a significant amount of water, only a very small fraction (about 2.5%) is freshwater, and even less than that is accessible for human use. The other statements are not accurate: there is not an unlimited amount of fresh water available, and converting ocean water into fresh drinking water (desalination) is a complex and often costly process.
