Answer:

A. More than 300 rivers drain into Siberia's Lake Baikal, which holds 20% of the world's fresh water, more than all the North American Great Lakes combined.

Step-by-step explanation:

The option B is incorrect because it has the preposition "With" which mess the whole statement

The option C is incorrect because the pronoun "It" before "holds" is not necessary

Option D is incorrect because the word "while" makes the sentence incoherent.

Option E is incorrect because it appears like the statement is making a comparison between baikal with more than all the North American great lakes.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.
