Answer:
A. Water pollution contributes to water scarcity.
Explanation:
Water pollution occurs when materials are disposed in water body, thus making it unfit for use. A polluted water can not be used for various purposes that water can be used for. Examples include: recreation, drinking, washing etc.
Water scarcity is the situation when available water is not sufficient for the use of organisms in a community. This majorly occurs in arid area.
Thus, since a polluted water renders water to be useless, therefore water pollution contributes to water scarcity.
