Answer:

B

Explanation:

B is incorrect because oceans are not the main source of drinking water. They contain the most water, but the ocean is not drinkable as it is much too salty and would lead to dehydration and the shriveling up of cells, causing death if it was the only water you drank. Usually only small island countries will have to resort to drinking ocean water after desalinating it, but most of the world gets their water from other sources such as groundwater, springs, lakes, and rivers.
