Answer 1

The correct labels for the layers within the Earth related to groundwater are:

C. A. zone of aeration - B. water table - C. zone of saturation.

In this context:

• The zone of aeration is the upper layer where the soil and rock are not saturated with water.
• The water table is the boundary between the zone of aeration and the zone of saturation.
• The zone of saturation is the layer where all the pore spaces are filled with water.
