  B) No, subsidence causes the ground to become more compact, hence it is not able to hold as much water as it once did.
  C) Yes, but only if the aquifer hasn't already been depleted.
  D) No, the land usually rises above its original level because subsidence has the effect of loosening soils, hence it increases their capacity to hold water.
