Answer 1

The correct answer is option D, water

Answer 2

D. water

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Middle East region, the countries that hold springs, rivers and aquifers in their territory are privileged to have this very rich and rare resource.

In the face of water scarcity, conflicts arise between countries to define who dominates the very few watersheds and groundwater. An example of a water dispute exists between Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan, who, as border countries, dispute the Jordan River Basin.
