Solution
The correct option is B Sandy soil
The process in which water passes down slowly through the soil is called the percolation of water.Though water can percolate through all types of soil but the rate of percolation of water through different soils is different.Sandy soil is quite loose, so the percolation rate of water is highest in sandy soil.Clayey soil is very compact, so the percolation rate of water is lowest in clayey soil.
