Question

• A. Clay
• B. Humus
• C. Silt
• D. Loam

Answer 1

The correct option is D Loam

• The different types of loam soils each have slightly different characteristics, with some draining liquids more efficiently than others. The soil's texture, especially its ability to retain nutrients and water are crucial.
• Loam soil is a mixture of soil that is the ideal plant-growing medium. It is actually a combination soil, normally equal parts of clay, silt, and sand, which gives the benefits of each with few of the disadvantages.
  

So, the correct answer is 'Loam'.
