Soil water content increasing order:
(A) Field capacity
(B) Oven dry
(C) Hygroscopic
(D) Permanent wilting
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is B

The correct increasing order of soil water content is:
Oven dry < Hygroscopic < Permanent wilting point < Field capacity.
Oven-dry soil has no water; hygroscopic water is tightly bound; permanent wilting point indicates unavailable water; and field capacity is the maximum water soil can retain against gravity.
