Solution

The correct option is B False
The soil used for growing rice should have a good water holding capacity. Sandy soil does not have good water holding capacity as water drains quickly through the spaces between the sand particles. Unlike sandy soil, water can be held in the tiny gaps between the particles of clay. So, clayey soil is uses for paddy cultivation.
