Rahul took equal amount of three types of soil X, Y an Z in different vessels, each with pores at the bottom. He then poured equal amount of water over each sample one by one and tabulated the percolation rate of these three samples as represented by the given graph.
Select the correct option regarding this.

Options

A. Soil Y shows highest water retention and is best suited for making the bottom of an artificial pond.
B. Soil Y is present in marshes whereas soil Z is abundantly found at sea shores.
C. Soil Y is well drained whereas soil X is not, hence is often water logged.
D. Soil X is well aerated hence ideal for growth of plant roots whereas plants growing in soil Z possess aerial roots or pneumatophores as it is water logged.

Answer

C

Explanation

X is clayey soil having low percolation rate. Y and Z are sandy and loamy soils respectively. Sandy soil will have the highest percolation rate as water retention capacity is less.
