Solution

The correct option is B False
Clay soil consists of small-sized particles. It has good water holding capacity but sometimes, it can become so water-logged that the plant roots may be deprived of oxygen . Loamy soil is a mixture of sand, clay and silt and is rich in humus and nutrients needed for the growth of the plants.
