The correct answer is C. At the top of the saturated zone.

The water table is defined as the upper surface of the saturated zone, where all the soil and rock pores are completely filled with water. It is the boundary between the groundwater below and the unsaturated zone above. The options A and B do not accurately describe the water table’s location.
