D. is the result of pressure within a confined aquifer that creates a potentio-metric surface.

Explanation:

The aquifer is a layer of the porous rocks and has a permeable matter such as a sand and the gravel and through which the water flows and is stored. This aquifer well is knows as artesian well and confined aquifer that has groundwater under a positive pressure and is surrounded by an impermeable rock.
