After submergence how Specific Conductance of a soil changes

A.
Increases
B.
Decreases
C.
First increases then decreases
Answer
D.
First decreases then increases

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
After submergence specific conductance of soil changes first increases then decreases. Submerged soils are soils that are saturated with water for a sufficiently long time in a year. Water fills the pore spaces and replaces the air.
Specific conductance refers to electrical conductivity i.e. water-quality property whose value is proportional to the collective concentration of ions in solution.
