Solution
The correct option is C Field capacity
Field capacity is the capacity of field. The amount of water retained by a unit weight of undisturbed soil after complete drainage under controlled conditions is called as field capacity.
Water held up in capillary space between soil particles is called as capillary water.
Gravitational water is the water that seeps down the surface of earth and makes up the water table.
Storage water is normally not used to describe soil water.
