Which of the following describes water that is safe for drinking?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Potable water is water that is safe for humans to drink or use for food preparation.
Distilled water has had most impurities and minerals removed through distillation, making it pure but not necessarily ideal for drinking as it lacks essential minerals.
Irrigated water is water used for irrigation in agriculture.
Deionized water has had its ions removed, similar to distilled water, but through a different process (ion exchange).
