Option A indicates a decline in China's groundwater supply, but it does not directly provide evidence of the age of fresh water. Option B mentions the critical level of water supply in the Middle East, which is also not evidence of the age of fresh water. Option C mentions the sinking of Mexico City due to over-pumping of groundwater, which indirectly provides evidence of the age of fresh water. The fresh water being pumped out is not being replenished quickly enough, indicating that it may be old and not easily replaceable.
