MCQ
Water scarcity is usually found in:
  • A
    Desert conditions
  • B
    Polar regions in winter
  • C
    Only A
  • Both $A$ and $B$

Answer

Correct option: D.
Both $A$ and $B$

Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet water demand. Water scarcity is seen in desert regions because the precipitation is very less and rainfall is also minimum.
During winter in polar regions, water is converted into ice due to very cold temperatures. This, in turn, leads to water scarcity in polar regions.
