Solution

The correct option is C Loamy soil
Loamy soil is a mixture of sand, clay and silt particles. It consists of additional organic matter and is very fertile compared to other soils. It provides ideal nutrients which are required for growing wheat and also allows the roots of the plant to rapidly absorb water and air from the soil.
