Explanation:

An aquiclude is a geological formation that restricts the flow of groundwater. Clay has very small pore spaces and low permeability, making it effective at preventing water movement. Gravel, sand, and sandstone have larger pore spaces and higher permeability, so they are more likely to be aquifers (allow water flow) rather than aquicludes.

Answer:

A. Clay
