• A land breeze is a breeze blowing towards the sea from the land, at night, owing to the relative warmth of the sea. It blows only in the night and not for 24 hours, thus option D is the answer as the statement is wrong.
• Rest statements are true, hence cannot be the answer.

In manufacturing processes, water is used to generate electric power, to make steam for processing and cleaning, to cool or control process temperature, to rinse, to dilute food, and to formulate products containing water. 

The process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapour and is released to the atmosphere is known as transpiration. 

Prolonged reduction of ground-water supplies can have a devastating effect on a farmer’s crop yields. If a drought occurs soon after seeding, plants may fail to germinate; and during the later stages of development, a drought can cause entire crops to wither.

Precipitation in the form of solid particles of snow is known as snowfall. In high latitudinal and temperate regions, snowfall occurs at the mean sea level while in tropical areas, snowfall occurs at place located higher than the snowline altitude.

70.8% part of the earth's surface is full of water. The distribution of this water is very uneven. At some places, the water storage is limited while it is ample at other place.

When water falls in the solid or liquid state from the clouds to ground, it is known as precipitation. Snow, hailstones, rainfall are the major forms of precipitation.
