Solution

The correct option is A Clay soil
Clay soils are compact with good hydration, but little aeration; chemically they are very fertile, because of rich mineral content.
Rich mineral content of such soils is due to clay, which adsorbs minerals on its surface.
Clay and humus produce colloidal complex for holding water and ions and forming soil crumbs. Clay has high water holding capacity due to extremely small particle size and fine pores between them. This frequently leads to water logging
So, the correct answer is 'Clay soil'
