Answer: Option B
Solution:
The liquid limit (LL) or upper plastic limit is the e-water content at which the soil changes from a liquid state to an aplastic state.The pF value is a quantity that indicates the quality of water contained in the soil. A pF value near 0 indicates that the soil is filled with water.
