Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To deplete freshwater consumption of the water must be greater than the renewal rate. If the precipitation collected it does not mean it depleted, it can be still used later on. If precipitation relieves drought also doesn't mean water is gone, water would be still accessible by using wells and it is stored underwater. If water is less than supply than there will be no problem at all. So if water demand is higher than water renewal the opposite is true and freshwater supplies would finish.
