Solution

The correct option is C Loamy soil
Loamy soil is considered good for agriculture and one of the reasons for this belief is easy availability of water for crop plants. Sand soil have poor water holding capacity so they cannot hold enough water for plants. Clay soil has very high water holding capacity, so that water held up by clay is not available for plants.
