Correct answer: Some Africans struggle to get clean drinking water.

Explanation: Desertification reduces vegetation and soil moisture, lowers water tables and surface water availability, and increases drought — causing water shortages and making clean drinking water harder to obtain. The other choices do not follow from desertification.
