Solution

The correct option is C

No, the situation is in balance.


Water table reduces if we keep consuming groundwater. In a situation where the same amount of water that is being used gets infiltrated back to the ground naturally then the case of groundwater depletion does not arise. Hence, the situation will be in balance.
