Solution

The correct option is D
The water that seeps through the soil and gets collected inside the ground.

Groundwater is water that is stored under the earth’s surface within the soil and rock layers. When rain falls, only a small portion of the water flows across the ground as runoff and enters streams or rivers. Much of this water remains trapped in the soil and seeps deep into the ground and becomes groundwater.
