Answer: C for digging
Extra: When building a pond, one of the first steps is to create the hole where the pond will be located. This requires removing soil from the area where the pond will be situated. A shovel is the common tool used for digging because it has a broad blade that can cut into the earth and lift out the soil. Crushing rocks, filling the hole, and moving sand are different tasks that may not require a shovel, or could be completed more efficiently with other tools. For instance, crushing rocks might require a hammer or a rock crusher. Filling the hole would be done after the pond liner is in place, likely by adding water, and moving sand might be better done with a wheelbarrow or a similar tool designed to transport loose material.
