Answer 1

The best representation of the relative percentages of freshwater resources found on Earth is:

A. Graph 1:

• Icecaps and Glaciers; less than 0.3%.
• Lakes, Swamps, and Rivers; 60.8%.
• Groundwater; 20.5%.
• Runoff; 18.4%.

This graph shows a more realistic representation of freshwater distribution, especially with a significant portion allocated to groundwater, which is typically around 30-35% of freshwater, and a notable percentage for lakes and rivers. Other graphs provide inaccurate distributions.
