Answer 1

The false statement(s) are the ones that say "1.2%."

Correct figures: only about 0.3% of all Earth’s water is in rivers, lakes, ponds and streams (i.e., surface freshwater), which is roughly 12% of the planet’s freshwater. Estuaries can contain saltwater and lakes can be fresh or saltwater — those are true.
