The graph shows that the yellow line (water pumped out of the aquifer) is consistently higher than the blue line (recharge of the aquifer). This indicates that more water is being taken out of the aquifer than is being replenished through natural recharge processes. Therefore, statement A is the correct answer. Statement B, C, and D are not supported by the graph.
