{'springs': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'arid areas': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'karst topography': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'areas': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'strata': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'rocks': [9, 0, 3, 15]}

Springs are commonly found in areas with underlying rocks where water is able to flow freely. This includes both arid areas and areas with karst topography.

Option 1 (1 and 3 only) states that springs are found in well jointed rocks and karst topography only. While springs can occur in well jointed rocks, this option does not include arid areas which is incorrect.

Option 2 (If 3 and 4) states that springs are found in karst topography and tilted strata. Again, this option does not include arid areas with underlying rocks which is incorrect.

Option 3 (2 and 4) states that springs are found in arid areas with underlying rocks and tilted strata. This option does not include karst topography which is incorrect.

Option 4 (3 and 4 only) states that springs are found in karst topography and tilted strata only. This option does not include arid areas with underlying rocks which is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2 - Springs are common in arid areas with underlying rocks and karst topography.
