C Correct answer
Explanation

Approximately 97% of Earth's water is salt water in oceans, while about 3% is fresh water. This fresh water is distributed among glaciers and ice caps (about 69%), groundwater (about 30%), and surface water like lakes and rivers (about 1%). The question correctly identifies that roughly 3% of all water on Earth is fresh water, though most of that is frozen or underground.
