    C) Farther into the ground to make a deeper well on a ridge than in a valley.

    Explanation:

    The water table in streams reaches the surface and is close to the surface above lakes, so that in valleys only shallow wells would be required. Water runs from ridges to valleys, causing deeper wells the water table becomes deeper underneath ridges. Water can be contained in much smaller areas than caves in certain rocks, so you don't have to enter a cave and you don't really want to, because caves can be easy pathways for pollutants and surface pollutants.

    Hence, The correct answer is C
