Question

which stores groundwater?
○ glacier
○ runoff
○ aquifer
○ lake

Explanation:

To determine which option stores groundwater, we analyze each choice:

• A glacier is a large mass of ice and stores frozen water, not groundwater.
• Runoff is water that flows over the land surface, not a storage for groundwater.
• An aquifer is a body of rock or sediment that can store and transmit groundwater.
• A lake is a surface water body, not primarily for storing groundwater.

Answer:

C. aquifer
