    Conifer
  • B
    Hydrosphere
  • ✓
    Aquifer
  • D
    Water table
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
Aquifer
The main source of groundwater is the rain.
The impermeable rock does not allow water to pass through it.
So, water starts collecting above the impermeable rock and fills the soil and permeable rocks completely with water up to the level known as water table.
The underground layer of soil and permeable rocks in which water collects under the ground is called an aquifer.
