Solution

The correct option is A Hollard
Holard is the total amount of water content present in the soil. Whereas chresard is the water available to plants for absorption and echard is the soil water unavailable to plants. It consists of hygroscopic water, combined water, water vapors and about 25 percent of capillary water. Only capillary water is available to plant roots. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
