Answer
A
requires a bucket
B
uses natural pressure
C
needs a mechanical pump
D
is heated by hot rocks or magma

Explanation

An artesian well taps groundwater held under pressure between layers of rock. That natural pressure can push water up the well, so the correct statement is “uses natural pressure.” A bucket or mechanical pump is not what defines an artesian well.
