• D. The first statement is false; the second is true.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Both statements are true. Approximately 75% of reputable producers of bottled water use groundwater as their water source, which is the same source as the public water supply.

The first statement is supported by the fact that groundwater is a common source for bottled water due to its purity and taste. The second statement is true as tap water is sourced from natural reservoirs or underground aquifers in most cases, making it a natural fluid source for consumption. Other choices are incorrect because both statements are factually accurate based on common practices in the production and sourcing of bottled water and tap water.
