Answer:

Not 100% sure but I imagine it would have to be Choice A. Reasoning below

Step-by-step explanation:

  • It is between choice A or C since they contradict each other.
  • Dams are used to create sources of electricity by backing water up and creating a pool of potential energy.
  • This backing up water creates a reservoir upstream, thus increasing the available freshwater in the reservoir.
