Ask about the main source of drinking water for the members of the household and then shade the appropriate code.
Piped into house or dwelling (house connection) - Where the tap is available in the living quarters occupied by the household, shade 1.

Community stand pipe: If the members fetch water from a community stand pipe, i.e. other members of the community also fetch water from the stand pipe, shade 3.
Unprotected well: This is an artificial means of water supply from underground obtained by boring or digging if the water is not in any way protected from contamination, shade 4.
Protected well: Where efforts have been made towards erecting structures around the well or other means have been made to protect the water from contamination, shade 5.
Borehole: If the water source is a borehole, shade 6.
