Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Soil particles determine its Texture.
Soil texture (such as loam, sandy loam or clay) refers to the proportion of sand, silt and clay-sized particles that make up the mineral fraction of the soil.
The texture of a soil determines soil water-holding capacity, permeability and soil workability.
Sand, silt, clay and organic matter particles in a soil combine to form larger particles. Soil structure is the arrangement of the soil particles into aggregates of various sizes and shapes.
