Solution

The correct option is C Loam
Clay is rich in minerals but has poor aeration and sand has good aeration but lacks water holding capacity. The size of soil particles is largest in the case of sand and smallest in the case of clay. Loam is an ideal mix of clay and sand and it contains humus.
So, the correct answer is option B.
