Pick up the correct statement from the following :
A confined bed of impervious material laid over an acquifer, is known as an aquiclude
The top most water bearing strata having no acquifer, is known as non-artesion acquifer
The ordinary gravity wells which supply water from the top most water bearing strata, are called water table wells
A permeable stratum which is capable to yield appreciate quantities of ground water, is known as an aquifer
All the above.
