Answer:

The correct answer is statement A.

Explanation:

The procedure of purifying ocean water, that is, the saline water so that it can become suitable for drinking is termed as desalination. Almost 70 percent of the Earth is covered with water and of this only 3 percent is used for drinking purposes. On a huge scale, the process of desalination would require the boiling of water, which would eventually require an enormous amount of energy.  

Reverse osmosis and electro-dialysis are the methods used for desalination. However, these procedures are very costly and cannot be performed on a huge level as it can affect the economy of various countries.

Hello. It is not possible to access the website you are referring to, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Natural selection is the term created by Chales Darwin to compose a theory of biological evolution. According to this term, living beings that have characteristics favorable to their survival, in relation to the environment in which they live, are more likely to survive and pass these characteristics on to their descendants, while those that do not have these characteristics are more likely to die. .

An example of this can be seen in a population of lizards that live in environments with a lot of grass. According to natural selection, green colored lizards would have better advantages of surviving because they would be camouflaged in the grass and would not be seen by predators, unlike red lizards, which would be easily identified and captured by predators. therefore, the population of red lizards would decrease until it ceased to exist, while the population and green lizards would survive and generate other green lizards.
