Which of the following statements best describes how water moves as groundwater?
A
After water infiltrates (soaks into) the ground, it travels through the zone of saturation and ends up in the zone of aeration.
B
After water infiltrates the ground, it travels through the zone of aeration and ends up in the zone of saturation.
C
After water passes through the zone of aeration it infiltrates the ground and then moves into the zone of saturation.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It’s more like water in a sponge. Gravity and pressure move water downward and sideways underground through spaces between rocks. Eventually it emerges back to the land surface, into rivers, and into the oceans to keep the water cycle going.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer. Answer:Which of the following best describes the movement of water underground? Recharge moves groundwater supplies through rock.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is groundwater? Groundwater is fresh water (from rain or melting ice and snow) that soaks into the soil and is stored in the tiny spaces (pores) between rocks and particles of soil.

Detailed explanation-4: -The movement of groundwater in the saturated zone is termed percolation. Water moves slowly by percolation through very small pores along parallel, threadlike paths. 7. Figure 12.9: Water percolates from areas where the water table is high towards areas where it is lowest (towards surface streams or lakes).
