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.
