Solution

The correct option is C

Explanation of the correct option

  1. The percolation rate can be used to determine the water-holding capacity of different types of soils.
  2. Sandy soil is loosely packed and due to large air gaps, the water flows faster through it. Hence, the sandy soil has the highest percolation rate.

Final Answer: Sandy soil has the highest rate of percolation
