Answer: Submersible sump pump
Explanation: Submersible sump pumps are generally better equipped to handle debris such as gravel, sand, and twigs compared to pedestal sump pumps. This is because submersible pumps are located directly in the sump pit, allowing them to efficiently pump water and debris without clogging or causing damage to the pump's components.
