Answer
A
Groundwater is water found below Earth’s surface.
B
Groundwater erosion creates oxbow lakes.
C
Groundwater erosion leads to the creation of caves.
D
Groundwater flows across the ground.
E
Groundwater can cause chemical weathering.

Explanation

Groundwater is water stored beneath Earth’s surface, so statement A is accurate. As it moves through soluble rock, groundwater can dissolve the rock and form caves, and it can also cause chemical weathering. Oxbow lakes form when rivers change course, while water flowing across the ground is surface water rather than groundwater.
