Solution

The correct option is A Loamy soil
Loam is considered ideal for gardening and agricultural uses, because it retains nutrients well and retains water, while still allowing excess water to drain away.
Silt is granular material of a size between sand and clay, whose mineral origin is quartz and feldspar.
Sandy soils are granular soils, that contain small rock and mineral particles.
Clay is a fine-grained natural rock or soil material, that combines one or more clay minerals with traces of metal oxides and organic matter.
