    B)  Artesian well

    C)  Unconfined groundwater

    D)  Confined groundwater

    Correct Answer: A

This causes the water level in a well to rise to a point where hydrostatic equilibrium has been reached. This type of well is called an artesian well. Water may even reach the ground surface if the natural pressure is high enough, in which case the well is called a flowing artesian well.
