Answer:
B. Fact
Explanation:
The highlighted text is a "fact" because it is expressing a statement that is real and is backed by evidence. For example, it states that <em>"water is a basic human right.</em>" This is, indeed, an "objective reality." It also states that<u> only 15% of the residents in the poor villages of Africa have access to drinking water.</u> This is backed by evidence that <em>the nearest drinking water is within a mile. </em>
The statement is<em> not a rhetorical question</em> because it is not asking anything. It is also <em>not a band wagon appea</em>l because it <em>doesn't persuade</em> the reader to do anything or to think about something. It is simply stating a "fact."
So, this explains the answer.
