Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The elevation of the water table fluctuates depending on the amount of rainfall in a particular area. During rainy periods, the water table may rise while during droughts, it may sink. Therefore, option C is the correct answer choice. Option A is incorrect because the elevation of the water table is not necessarily constant and may change over time. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that the water table rises during times of drought, which is not typically the case.
