Explanation:

A drought is defined by a prolonged lack of precipitation that is well below historical norms for a region, leading to water shortages. The first option is incorrect because drought does not require total water depletion. The second option describes water stress, not the root cause of drought. The third option refers to a heatwave, not drought.

Answer:

D. Consecutive seasons of historically low precipitation
