Correct Answer: has becoming increasingly scarce.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The present perfect tense is a tense used in the present to indicate the action that has taken place at some specific time. It uses an auxiliary verb and past participle for the main verb.

In the sentence, "has" is to be followed by the past participle form of the verb, making it a present perfect tense. The verb "become" should be changed to the third form of the verb, i.e., become.

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: "More than 40 percent of the world's population lives in regions where water has become increasingly scarce."
