The size of clay particle is
Correct answer – (c) Clay particles are the finest soil particles. Their diameter is less than 0.002 mm. Hence, clay size is < 0.002 mm.
Information Booster / Facts Silt: 0.002–0.02 mm, Sand: 0.02–2.0 mm. Clay has high surface area and water holding capacity.
Why other options are incorrect (a) <0.02 mm includes silt also, not only clay. (b) <0.0002 mm is too small and not standard clay limit. (d) <0.2 mm includes sand particles also.
