B)precisely mimics the topography of the ground surface
C)is a subdued (less steeply sloping)mimic of surface topography
D)is an exaggerated (more steeply sloping)mimic of surface topography

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a humid climate, the water table is generally subdued and less steeply sloping than the surface topography. This is because the water table is controlled primarily by the amount and distribution of precipitation and evapotranspiration, which tend to smooth out topographic variation over time. While local factors such as soils, geology, and land use can influence the water table, they typically do not have as strong an effect as climate. Therefore, Choice C is the best answer.
