Correct Answer: with running water


Solution : The correct option will be the second option.

The original sentence contains a small error in the phrase "running watered". The correct term is "running water", which refers to a water supply system that is in operation, typically within a home or building.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The number of homes with running water has been rising sharply since 1985."
