The correct answer is C. While environmentally beneficial water conservation is costly endeavour.

We can say that it is only one percent of earth's water supply which is usable for human consumption.

If we do not conserve water it will lead to a lot of water contamination. Water conservation can include activities, strategies and policies which are termed as sustainable to manage.

If we conserve water, there is availability of water which can be used in the future. If we conserve water, we also conserve energy and also habitat conservation.
