The total water content on planet earth %

Percent of water that is salt water and thus is non usable % of % of total available water.

%

Percent of water that is capped in solid glaciers and polar ice caps % of % of total available water.

%

The nearest answer to this figure is %

Thus, option B is correct

answer: c
