E.depressions.
Explanation / Answer
1. Peat has less than 60% of carbon, lignite has the carbon content in between 60% to 70%.Bituminus has 77% to 87% of carbon. Anthracite contains more than 87%. Hence, the increasing order of carbon content is peat, lignite, bituminous, and coal.
10. Most of the fresh water is stored in underground. Hence, the correct option is C.
12. Refraction of seismic waves results when they bend along the boundary between the less and higher denser mediums. Hence, the correct option is B.
