Solution

The correct option is B Sandy
Particles present inside the sandy soil have large diameters. They are large sand particles. They cannot hold water molecules in them firmly. Apart from this, their water absorption capacity and water holding capacity is also less.
So, option B, "Sandy" soil is the correct option.
