Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An aquifer is a body of porous rock (such as sandstone, gravel, or limestone) that contains or transmits groundwater. It is not a river or stream on the surface (A) or an underground stream (B), although it may be recharged by surface water. It is also not the water table itself (C), but rather the rock or sediment that holds the water.
