Solution

The correct option is A Loamy

The appropriate soil for growing plants, the soil should have:​

  1. Appropriate space between the particles (depends on the particle size)​
  2. High water retention capacity

Loamy soil contains small and big particles in equal proportion.

  • Its particle size falls between that of sandy and clayey soils.
  • It has the appropriate water retention capacity and helps a plant to grow.
Hence, it is best suited for growing plants.
