Answer 1

B

Explanation:

While there are indeed many natural resources, the use and extraction of these resources has not always been done in an environmentally friendly way.

Potable water is still a scarce commodity and is slowly being supplied to the population. Despite the efforts, a combination of salt water infiltration into the water table and chemical spills from refineries and other industrial sites make water pollution a serious issue.
