The correct answer is (B) Consumptive.

Step-by-step explanation:
"Consumptive use" is the term used in the field of Water Science to define "the part of water withdrawn that is evaporated, given off by plants, used by crops, consumed by humans or livestock, or otherwise removed from the immediate water environment. It is also referred as water consumed." Hence the correct answer is (b) Consumptive.
