A) is false: there is definitely more freshwater in form of groundwater (water under the ground) than in lakes and rivers

b) - well, the question is, how much would be "significant"? it forms about 20% of total freshwater, and it's probably the biggest source of liquid fresh water - so I would go with this option as the correct one.

c) this is false - it's less than 5%!
