Question

clayey soil has little moisture​

Answer 1

Answer:

What is the moisture content of clay soil?

45 to 55%

The volumetric soil moisture content remaining at field capacity is about 15 to 25% for sandy soils, 35 to 45% for loam soils, and 45 to 55% for clay soils.

Answer 2

Soil water-holding capacity is the amount of water that a given soil can hold.

The water holding capacity of sandy soil is less compared to clay soil.

The clay soil has the highest water holding capacity and the sandy soil has the least; clay > loam > sand. Clay particles are so tiny and have many small pore spaces that make water move slower (the highest water holding capacity). Sandy soils have good drainage but low water and nutrient holding capacities.

So the correct option is B.
