Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The subsurface area in which all pore spaces are completely filled with water is known as the zone of saturation. This is where groundwater occurs and can be accessed through wells. Choice B (gravitational zone) and D (base flow) are not accurate descriptions of this specific subsurface area. Choice C (water table) refers to the boundary between the zone of saturation and the unsaturated zone above it.
