    Answer- C Sandstone would make best aquifer because of it's porous and permeable nature. Sandstones comprise grains of size range of 1/16mm to 2mm which create sufficient space. Shale works as an aquitard (low permeability). Mudstone and massive Basalt behave as an aquifuge (neither porous nor permeable). So the correct answer is sandstone. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any doubt.
