Solution

The correct options are
A Sand
B Clay
C Silt
Percolation tanks are built to recharge the groundwater. So, the base of a percolation tank is constructed with porous materials like soil, silt, loam, clay, sand, gravel, etc to allow the water in the tank to enter the Earth's surface.

Tiles are non-porous and do not allow water to pass through them.
