I think the hydraulic ram is the device used to drive a pile into the soil.

Usually, hydraulic ram is also used for lifting heavy loads but when we consider options A is more prominent.

A hydraulic ram, or hydram, is a cyclic water pump powered by hydropower. The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure that allows a portion of the input water that powers the pump to be lifted to a point higher than where the water originally started.
