Solution

The correct option is C Black
1:The black soils are made up of extremely fine i.e. clayey material. They are well-known for their capacity to hold moisture. In addition, they are rich in soil nutrients, such as calcium carbonate, magnesium, potash and lime.
2:The clay soil has the highest water holding capacity and the sand soil has the least. Clay particles are so tiny and have many small pore spaces that make water move slower, (very good water holding capacity)
