The least porous soil among the following is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Clay soil
Clay and silt soils tend to stick together, not allowing water and air to penetrate soil structure. They have poor soil porosity and do not let water drain. Aeration is poor and many plants decline and die in these non-porous, waterlogged soils. Poor porosity facilitates erosion of soils as rainwater washes particles off the surface rather than penetrating into soil. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
