Identify the correct statement from among the following:
A.The proportion of fine particles in sandy soil is relatively higher than in the clayey soil.
B.The amount of large and fine particles is about the same in clayey soil.
C.The proportion of large particles in loamy soil is relatively higher than in the sandy soil.
D.The proportion of fine particles in clayey soil is relatively higher than in the loamy soil.✓ Correct
Explanation
Clayey soil consists predominantly of fine particles, much more so than loamy soil which contains a mix of sand, silt, and clay. Sandy soil has predominantly large particles (and far fewer fine particles than clayey soil), so statement 1 is wrong. Clayey soil is dominated by fine particles, not equal proportions, so statement 2 is wrong. Sandy soil has more large particles than loamy soil, so statement 3 is wrong. Statement 4 is correct.
