D的which指代的fresh water 还是整句话？有歧义。
C是个stub，甚至很难算一句话吧。

首先，你没有选C是对的，因为C中的it holds more of 中的it是重复的，应该删去。C排除

D中的while是不对的，因为没有“当……时候”的这层意思的存在，所以while不能用。但是解释中关于非限定定从只就近修饰fresh water而没有修饰到全部的20 percent of the world's fresh water，这一点我还米有弄清楚。

不好意思，我打错字，本来想说D的结构比A好

在GMAT中，“，which” 只能指代前面就近的那个词，而不能指代前面整句话。这跟中式语法不一样啊，我一开始接触到这个知识点，也不理解，呵呵~但是我这里的which指代的是fresh water嘛，为什么不对？
