Solution

The correct option is C Micropores
Water enters the soil through the pores by the means of capillary action and gravity. Capillary pores are micropores. Micropores hold maximum water by capillary forces. These pores have high water holding capacity as water within these pores is immobile. However, water is available for plant.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
