When farmers irrigate their crops, as much as 60 to 70 percent of the water is ruined by pests, such as rabbits that are around the crops never reaches the crop is taken up by the plant is already contaminated by lead pipes

Option (2)

Explanation:

The water in most of the region is generally pumped out of the ground for the purpose of irrigation. This rate of pumping is much higher than the rate of replenishment. The over-pumping of water leads to the lowering of the water table

About 60 to 70% of the water that is used for irrigation purposes does not reach the crop. It is because the water most of the time gets percolated down into the deeper zones. In addition to this, the water also leaks through the fractures that are associated with the canals and increasing rate of evaporation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
