C. permeable
Permeable rocks, such as sandstone and limestone, are best suited for aquifers as they allow water to flow through them easily, providing a source of groundwater storage. Impermeable rocks, such as granite, would not allow water to flow through them, making them unsuitable for aquifers. Metamorphic and igneous rocks can also be permeable in some cases, but generally, sedimentary rocks like sandstone and limestone are the most commonly used for aquifers.
