Solution

The correct option is C Clayey soil
Clay soil particles are very small in size and packed tightly, water does not drain quickly, clayey soil is not well aerated and retains more water. Humus can easily mix or packed with clayey because of small particles also maintain the moisture in the soil and makes it more fertile. Thus, the answer is C.
