The answer is <span>D. the ocean.

The most of the water on Earth is held in the oceans, about 97% of all the water. The other 3% of the Earth water is freshwater - 2% belong to ice (glaciers) and 1% belong to ground water. Imagine you have one two-liter bottle filled with water. Let's it represent the whole water on the Earth.

The water in the tablespoon represents freshwater (3%).
