Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Glacier: A large mass of ice moving slowly over land (not below ground).
• Ice sheet: A massive layer of ice covering a large area (on the surface).
• Ice cap: A smaller ice mass covering a mountain or plateau (surface - based).
• Groundwater: By definition, water that is located beneath the Earth's surface in soil pores or rock fractures. This matches the description of "water that lies below ground".
