Solution

The correct option is B

Water table


Water table, also called Groundwater Table, is the upper level of an underground surface in which the soil or rocks are permanently saturated with water. You will find rocks and soil underneath the water table, just as you will above it. But the ground below a water table contains groundwater, often contained in small pockets and the spaces between the particles of soil.
