Correct Answer: 97.2%
Solution : The correct option is 97.2% .
The vast majority of Earth's water, around 97.2%, is saline and found in the oceans. Only about 2.5% of Earth's water is freshwater, and the majority of that is locked in ice caps, glaciers, and underground aquifers.
The relatively small percentage of freshwater available on the surface is crucial for supporting terrestrial life, agriculture, and human activities.
