Answer 1

The correct option is D

is stored between layers of hard rock below ground water.

When we dig into the ground, we encounter the water table which marks the start of groundwater. As we dig deeper, the groundwater is stored between layers of hard rock below the water table. This deposit of water is called an aquifer. Groundwater can be extracted from aquifers using a water well.
