Solution

The correct option is D
Excessive rainfall

Groundwater depletion is the reduction in the groundwater level due to over consumption of groundwater. Groundwater gets naturally replenished by rainfall, but if the rate of replenishment of groundwater is less than the rate at which we consume it then the situation of groundwater depletion arises. Increase in population, industralization and agricultural activities put a significant amount of stress on the groundwater.
