Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Recharges freshwater aquifers

Step-by-step explanation:

Sedimentary deposits or formations of rock material with sufficient porosity for water retention are known as aquifers

The episodic movement of water from land surfaces, following a storm or other unsaturated areas into a saturated zone is known as aquifer recharge

The natural source of freshwater aquifer recharge is therefore through rainfall or surface waters from wetlands.
