The correct answer is (b) Clay.

Why clay soil is called water logging:

  • Clayey soil absorbs and retains a lot of water. In clayey soil, stagnant water collects above the soil whenever it rains. This is known as waterlogging.

  • There is no soil in the sand and clay particle regions; instead, the water is only present on the surface of each particle, where it is so tightly packed that plants cannot access it. Additionally, soil's inherent flexibility helps it keep nutrients and make up for sandy soils.

What is water logging:

  • Waterlogging happens when there is too much water in a plant's root zone, which reduces the amount of oxygen the roots can access. Waterlogging can significantly impede plant development and productivity and, in some cases, even result in plant death.
