A company has been hired to drill a well to mine for groundwater. The rock in the area is very hard, so the drill used must be able to pound the rock to break it apart. Fortunately, however, the groundwater is not too far below the surface, so a suction pump can be used to bring the water to the surface. What type of drill and pump should the company use?(1 point) Responses a rotary drill with a submersible pump a rotary drill with a submersible pump a percussion drill with a jet pump a percussion drill with a jet pump a rotary drill with a jet pump a rotary drill with a jet pump a percussion drill with a submersible pump

The company should use a percussion drill with a submersible pump.
A percussion drill is well-suited for breaking apart hard rock, as it uses a pounding action to effectively fragment the material. Since the groundwater is relatively shallow, a submersible pump can efficiently bring the water to the surface after it has been accessed by the drill.
