Solution

The correct option is B
Amount of infiltration > Amount of ground water used

If the amount of water that is fed underground through infiltration is more than the usage, it will lead to the increase of the groundwater level. Amount of rainfall and evaporation definitely contribute to this. But, groundwater level depends on the amount of water seeping into the ground.
