A team of geographers and hydrologists compared the average annual precipitation and internal freshwater resources per capita for five countries located on different continents They found that, although precipitation is an important factor in determining freshwater availability it is not the only one. Other factors, such as population size, distribution and density, as well as water management,infrastructure, and consumption also affect how much freshwater is accessible and usable for human needs. Thus, they argue that two countries with similar precipitation levels can have very different freshwater availability situations. Which choice best describes data from the table that support the geographers' and hydrologists argument? Choose 1 answer: A Canada and Australia have similar precipitation levels but very different amounts of freshwater resources per capita. B Sierra Leone and Brazil have similar precipitation levels and similar amounts of freshwater resources per capita. C Brazil has the second highest precipitation level and the second highest amount of freshwater resources per capita. D Sierra Leone and Australia have very similar amounts of freshwater

To determine which choice best describes data from the table that support the geographers' and hydrologists' argument, we need to analyze the given information and compare it with the options provided.<br /><br />The argument states that two countries with similar precipitation levels can have very different freshwater availability situations. This means that even if two countries have similar precipitation levels, their freshwater availability can vary due to other factors such as population size, distribution, density, water management, infrastructure, and consumption.<br /><br />Let's analyze each option:<br /><br />A. Canada and Australia have similar precipitation levels but very different amounts of freshwater resources per capita.<br />This option supports the argument because it shows that two countries with similar precipitation levels (Canada and Australia) can have very different amounts of freshwater resources per capita.<br /><br />B. Sierra Leone and Brazil have similar precipitation levels and similar amounts of freshwater resources per capita.<br />This option does not support the argument because it shows that two countries with similar precipitation levels (Sierra Leone and Brazil) have similar amounts of freshwater resources per capita.<br /><br />C. Brazil has the second highest precipitation level and the second highest amount of freshwater resources per capita.<br />This option does not provide any information about two countries with similar precipitation levels, so it does not support the argument.<br /><br />D. Sierra Leone and Australia have very similar amounts of freshwater resources per capita.<br />This option does not provide any information about two countries with similar precipitation levels, so it does not support the argument.<br /><br />Based on the analysis, the correct answer is:<br /><br />A. Canada and Australia have similar precipitation levels but very different amounts of freshwater resources per capita.<br /><br />This option best describes data from the table that support the geographers' and hydrologists' argument that two countries with similar precipitation levels can have very different freshwater availability situations.
