The correct answer is C) 135.

As per the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) code IS 1172:1993 (Code of basic requirements for water supply, drainage and sanitation), the recommended minimum requirement for domestic water supply in urban areas in India is 135 Liters Per Capita Per Day (LPCD). This figure covers all domestic needs including drinking, cooking, bathing, flushing, washing of clothes and utensils.

While different standards might exist for specific contexts (e.g., basic need for drinking and cooking might be lower, or usage in high-income areas might be higher), 135 LPCD is the widely accepted standard domestic water demand figure in India according to BIS.
