Which of the following best describes what an aquifer is? a. an unsaturated, losing stream bed or stratum below a spring.
b. the porous and permeable, saturated cone of depression in an aquitard. c. a saturated, porous and permeable layer or stratum. d. a layer or stratum in which groundwater flows downward to the water table.

The statement "a saturated, porous, and permeable layer or stratum" best describes the aquifer.

An aquifer is a liquid layer of porous rock, rock fractures, or uncemented equipment near the ground. A well can be used to extract groundwater from aquifers. Hydrogeology is the study of aquifer water flow and characterization.

Therefore, the correct option is c.

b. the porous and permeable, saturated cone of depression in an aquitard.

Explanation:

An aquifer is an underground layer of water, surrounded by a porous, and saturated layer of water bearing rock. The aquifer is lined by a layer of bed of low permeability along its length. This layer is called an aquitard, and it usually forms a depression.
