A pie chart with part A representing 2%, part B representing .8%, part C representing .2% and part D representing 97%.


A only
A and B
C only
D only

Answer 1

Answer: D only.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of Earth's water located in oceans is 97%. Rest 3% is in the form of rivers, glaciers, polar ice-caps, lakes and ground water. Out of this 3% also, only 0.3% is freshwater which found in swamps, lakes and rivers.

In the pie chart, part D represents 97%. Thus, part D only represents the amount of Earth's water located in the oceans.

Answer 2

In the pie chart above, the pie chart that represents the amount of Earth's water located in the oceans is D only. The rest of the choices are too small for the amount of water that is present on Earth.
