Solution

The correct option is C Paddy
Paddy or rice crops require a large amount of water for their proper growth. So the soil in which paddy is grown should have good water holding capacity. Clayey soil can retain a lot of water for a long duration of time. Organic matter present in the soil also provides enough nutrients to the crop for its proper development and growth.
So, option C "Paddy' is the correct answer.
