Given answer A is right.

Runoff also includes groundwater that is discharged into a stream; streamflow that is composed entirely of groundwater is termed base flow or fair-weather runoff, and it occurs where a stream channel intersects the water table.

Option B is correct. Because runoff is always available over the surface and it is the water which is available after considering all the losses. Ground water is also one of the losses.

Given Answer right.

Runoff is classified into two categories. 1-Direct runoff 2-Base flow. Groundwater flow comes under base flow.

There are three type of run-off.

1. Surface run-off.
2. Sub surface run-off.
3. Ground water flow.

Total run off = surface Runoff + subsurface(ground water) runoff.

So, A is correct.
