Solution

The correct option is A
Soil in a flower pot

The process of seeping of water into ground is known as infiltration. Both asphalt road (paved road surface with asphalt) and cemented floor do not show any observable infiltration, but the soil in a flower pot shows sufficient infiltration as the water poured into it seeps through the soil.
