<em>Generally speaking, about 71 % of the earth is made up of water. Out of this percentage, approximately 97 % is found in the oceans with less than 3 % being freshwater. About 68.7 % of the freshwater is locked-up as glacier and ice, 30.1 % is groundwater, while the remaining 1.2 % represents surface and other forms of freshwaters which include ground ice and permafrost, lakes, atmosphere, rivers, swamps and marshes, soil moisture, and the freshwater in living organisms. </em>

The correct option is A.
