What defines a watershed?

Urban development plans
A large body of water
An area that drains into a water body
Legislation for water protection

The correct answer is: An area that drains into a water body

A watershed is specifically defined as an area of land where all the surface water and groundwater within it drains into the same location, such as a river, lake, or ocean. Urban development plans, while they may impact a watershed, do not define what a watershed is. Similarly, a large body of water is not a defining characteristic of a watershed. While legislation for water protection may play a role in managing a watershed, it does not define it. Therefore, the best answer is C An area that drains into a water body.
