Which statement concerning the sources of drinking water is FALSE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D. Fresh water may not be obtained from fish.

Fish do not contain drinkable fresh water, and attempting to extract water from them would not be a reliable or safe source of drinking water in a survival situation.
