Answer: Option C. -> Artisian well
Answer: (c)
An artesian well is a pumpless water source that uses pipes to allow underground water that is under pressure to rise to the surface. This type of well seems to defy gravity because the pressure that builds up between layers of rock gets relieved when the water finds a path to the open air.
In addition, the water has been naturally filtered because it passes through porous rock as it seeps into the Earth to reach the aquifer, which is the underground water source. For centuries, people have drilled artesian wells to drink filtered water that doesn’t need to be manually or mechanically hauled up from the depths.

Answer: Option A. -> Pacific Ocean
Answer: (a)
At 165.25 million square kilometres in area, the Pacific Ocean is the largest division of the World Ocean – and, in turn, the hydrosphere.
It covers about 46% of the Earth’s water surface and about one-third of its total surface area, making it larger than all of the Earth’s land area combined.

Answer: (c)
Corals are mainly found in the tropical oceans. Corals need clean sediment-free water. A coral polyp has a sack-like body and an opening encircled by stinging tentacles called cnidae.
The coral polyp uses calcium carbonate from seawater to build itself a hard skeleton and it is this limestone skeleton that protects the soft coral polyp.
