B.

Many Middle Eastern countries rely on water that originates outside their borders (transboundary rivers and aquifers) or on imported/desalinated supplies. Examples: Egypt depends on the Nile (headwaters in Ethiopia), Iraq and Syria on the Tigris–Euphrates (headwaters in Turkey), and Jordan/Palestine share limited cross‑border sources. Options A, C and D are incorrect.
