• C. $Z$ provides good amount of oxygen to roots for breathing.
• D. $X$ is best suited for cultivation.

Answer 1

The correct option is D $X$ is best suited for cultivation.

$X$ is best suited for cultivation as it contains all the types of soil (sand, silt, and clay) in the right proportion. Silt is the most fertile soil and clay soil can hold enough water, whereas sandy soil is well aerated.
