Choose the answer which best rewords the underlined portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

As a result, drinkable water has become a region of conflict that could eventually lead to greater hostilities between nations.

region
source
place
course

Explanation

Answer: B - The best choice is “source”

“Region” refers to a part or section and does not fit within the context of the sentence. “Place” and “conflict” are also inappropriate. “Source” can mean “origin” or “cause,” which does help convey the sentence’s meaning because drinkable water is the “cause” of conflict.
