An aquifer transmits water readily; an aquitard transmits slowly. An aquiclude can hold water but practically prevents flow, while an aquifuge neither stores nor transmits appreciably in the ideal classification. Thus the intended conductivity ranking is **A**; the last two are idealized negligible-flow categories.
