Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Permeability is the ability of fluids to flow through rock. It depends on the connectivity of the pore space. Permeable rocks include sandstone and fractured igneous and metamorphic rocks and karst limestone. Impermeable rocks include shales and unfractured igneous and metamorphic rocks.
