Answer 2

☘️ Answer :

• C) clay. ✅

☘️ More information :

Clay particles are VERY tiny, so they have a gigantic surface area per unit of volume - and thus clay has a very large capacity to adsorb charges. Sand and silt particles are several orders of magnitude larger - so even if they are charged, their total ability to adsorb ions is minimal, compared to clay.

Sand and silt can hold a meaningful charge on their own - for example, in a dust storm the charge of the particles is important for the storm mechanics.
