Solution

The correct option is A Loam soil
The best topsoil for growing plants is loam. Loamy soil is a mixture of sand, clay, and silt. Silt occurs as a deposit in riverbeds. The size of the silt particles is between those of sand and clay. The loamy soil also has humus in it. It has the right water holding capacity for the growth of plants.
Therefore, the correct answer is loam soil.
