Answer:

D) an open watershed.

Step-by-step explanation:

A watershed is defined as an area of land where all the surface water drains into the same place, whether it's a creek, a stream, a river or an ocean. ... An open watershed eventually drains into the ocean, whereas water in a closed watershed can escape only by evaporating or seeping into the earth.
