Question

When the soil moisture content reduces below __________, the resistivity of the earth increases sharply.

A.

20%

B.

5%

C.

50%

D.

75%

Correct option is A

The resistivity of soil is highly dependent on its moisture content. When the moisture content decreases significantly, the resistivity increases sharply because water conducts electricity much better than dry soil.
The critical threshold for this sharp increase is when the soil moisture content drops below 20%.
