The most correctly punctuated sentence is:

D• An article on Vincent van Gogh appeared in Vol. 8:12 of Art Around the World, a new  magazine devoted to art.

Explanation:

The comma separated the name of the magazine "Art Around the World" and the definition given to the magazine to expand on its meaning.  The expression "a new magazine devoted to art" defines the magazine by adding more meaning and explaining the magazine.  Grammatically commas are used to separate words or lists.  They are also used to improve the clarity of a sentence, as in the above case.

Yes, the information shown in the text is relevant. The passage is a counterclaim against the other essay on groundwater. The counterclaim shows all of the correct information on why the idea of rivers underground is incorrect, for example in the first article, "People have been using groundwater for thousands of years and continue to use it today, largely for drinking water and irrigation." In the counterclaim it opposes to that idea saying, "At a certain depth below the land surface, the spaces between the soil and rock particles can be totally filled with water, resulting in an aquifer from which groundwater can be pumped and used by people." This shows a claim and evidence to show that the main idea of the text is true.

I hope this helps!
