Solution

The correct option is C
Clayey

In the case of clayey soils, the small spaces in between small soil particles are filled with water and little air. This gives a sticky consistency to clayey soil. This is why clayey soils feel wet and muddy. The small size of grains present in clayey soils helps water stick to the grains and fill up the small spaces in between grains.
