Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bottled water is often harvested from sources that may not have an abundance of water and is then sold in other areas. This can lead to a strain on the local water supply and a decrease in availability for locals.

Answer: C 
 Bottled water is not recommended for emergency situations because it may not be readily available or sustainable in the long term. However, it can be a practical solution for supplementing drinking water on a larger scale, such as during a drought or other water shortage.

Answers B and D are incorrect. There is no evidence that bottled water requires less energy than obtaining water from a local source, and the approval of commercial production of bottled water in Michigan is not relevant to the accuracy of the statement about bottled water in general.
