Answer 1

The answer is B. The United States. Let's discuss why. Firstly, the question specifies the answer has to be a "North American country". So look at North America on the map. The map tells you that the dark red is where there is the most stress on water resources. Guatemala, Honduras and Canada are yellow and blue indicating they put low stress on water resources. The USA has a huge red chunk, this means there is high stress on water resources. Thus, the answer is B.
