Solution

The correct option is C A, C, F
Answer - Option b - A, C, F

The phenomenon of absorption of water by soil is termed percolation.
The rate of absorption is different for different types of soils. A soil with a high percolation rate can hold water for a short period of time. On the other hand, a soil with low percolation rate will hold water for a longer time. The percolation rate helps in the selection of suitable soil for crop growth.
The percolation rate can be calculated by using the below formula.
Percolation rate = Amount of water (ml)/ Percolation time (min).
