Final answer:

Artesian wells have water levels higher than the actual water table and flow without the need for pumping.

Correct answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Wells with water levels higher than the actual water table are known as artesian wells.

Artesian wells are formed when water is confined in a porous rock layer and is under enough pressure to rise above the level of the surrounding water table.

This creates a natural flow of water from the well without the need for pumping.

Correct answer is C
