Correct Answer:
B. Dewatering
Explanation:
A Well Point System is a widely used method for dewatering excavation sites by lowering the groundwater level.

By continuously extracting water from the soil, it creates a dry and stable working environment, preventing soil instability or flooding during construction activities.
