Solution
The correct option is B Sandy
The size of the particles in a soil has an influence on its properties. Sand particles are quite large. They cannot fit close together, so there are large spaces between them. These spaces are filled with air. Hence, sand is well aerated. Water can drain quickly through the spaces between the sand particles. So, sandy soils tend to be light, well aerated and rather dry.
