Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is C. People will drill deeper into aquifers

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple terminology, aquifers can be described as underground rocks which have an adequate amount of water in them. The water in these rocks is usually freshwater unless contamination occur from any source. The water in aquifers can be extracted by the help of a well.

Most likely, if a well becomes contaminant, the people will try to drill water deeper from the wells in search of freshwater that is free of contaminants.
