Question

which would allow humans to access groundwater?
○ a well drilled into an aquifer
○ a well drilled above the water table
○ an aquifer capped by thick granite
○ layers of soil and rock above the water table

Explanation:

An aquifer is a porous underground layer that holds groundwater. Drilling a well into it allows extraction of that groundwater. A well above the water table does not reach groundwater. Thick granite capping an aquifer blocks access, and soil/rock layers above the water table are not pathways to access groundwater.

Answer:

a. a well drilled into an aquifer
