Based on the descriptions provided for the options:
A. Most groundwater is fresh water. - This statement is likely true, as groundwater is primarily composed of fresh water.
B. 2% of the Earth's fresh water flows in rivers. - This statement is often supported by data, as rivers typically hold only a small fraction of the planet's fresh water.
C. 87% of the fresh water on Earth is found in lakes. - This statement is not usually accurate; a smaller percentage of fresh water is typically found in lakes.
D. About 2/3 of the fresh water on Earth is frozen. - This statement is often true since a significant portion of fresh water is stored in glaciers and polar ice caps.
Without the visual aid of the chart, it is challenging to definitively determine which statement is directly supported by it. However, based on general knowledge, D is a common fact that aligns with the typical distribution of Earth’s fresh water. If you have the chart data, you may want to confirm which statement is most accurate based on that specific information.
