    Which of the following has the highest water holding capacity?
    Question

    Which of the following has the highest water holding capacity?

    A.

    Clay soil

    B.

    Sandy soil

    C.

    Loamy soil

    D.

    All has equal capacity

    Correct option is A


    The correct answer is Clay soil.
    Clay soils have very fine particles that trap water effectively, leading to a high water holding capacity compared to sandy or loamy soils. 
    Additional Information
    (b) Sandy soil:
    Sandy soils have large particles with large spaces between them, allowing water to drain quickly, resulting in low water holding capacity. 
    (c) Loamy soil:
    Loamy soils are a mixture of sand, silt, and clay. While they have a higher water holding capacity than sandy soils, they are not as high as clay soils due to their smaller particle size distribution.
