Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Ice and debris flows could be related to water - but Mars has no active volcanoes currently, so this is incorrect.
  • Jarosite minerals form in water - indicates past water presence.
  • Gully systems carved by melt - water implies liquid water existed.
  • Grooves carved by raging waters show past water flow.

Answer:

  • B. Martian rocks contain jarosite minerals believed to have formed in the presence of water.
  • C. Gully systems on the walls of impact craters were carved by melt water.
  • D. Parallel grooves on the channel floors appear to have been carved by raging waters.
