Solution

The correct option is A fine and porous sand particles
Loess are depositional landforms created by blowing of the winds. Fine and porous sand particles are carried for much larger distances than coarse and heavy sand. Sometimes they go beyond the boundaries of a desert. At some point, these fine particles are deposited over vast regions. These regions are called Loess.
