    If the use of groundwater exceeds the rate of replenishment then:

    A) the depth of water table increases.

    Explanation:

    Ground water is the water that is reserved under the ground and is an important source of potable water. If we use up more ground water than it is replenished then the surface of groundwater will go deeper and the depth of the water table will increase. If the depth of water table increases, it would become very difficult to access the ground water, resulting in water crisis. To prevent such situation excessive use of groundwater should be checked and ground water replenishment methods should be encouraged.
