    2). Maria's water use is consumptive.

    Explanation:

    As per the question, option 2 most appropriately describes Maria's water use as 'consumptive' as she exhibits a propensity to consume water in a manner that it (water) could not be recycled which implies that she uses them in a wasteful manner. Thus, the water she uses for various purposes like shower, drinking, washing of the clothes, etc. could not be returned to the water resource system. Therefore, Maria's water use could be categorized as 'consumptive' as the water is not getting back to the cycle. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
