The correct comparison between clay and loam soil is- B. Clay has the finest texture while loam has fine texture.
- Clay soil- It is made up of fine particles that have highest water holding capacity in comparison to other soil types. As it doesn't contain coarse particles, it is soft with finest texture.
- Loam soil- It is a combination of sand, silt and clay soil. It contains both fine and coarse particles. Hence, it has properties of all soil types. It is hard and has less water holding capacity than clay soil.
