d.mixture of sand and loamy soil​

Answer 1

Highest water holding capacity :-Clayey soil

Answer 2

An example is a silt loam soil that has 30% sand, 60% silt and 10% clay sized particles. In general, the higher the percentage of silt and clay sized particles, the higher the water holding capacity. The small particles (clay and silt) have a much larger surface area than the larger sand particles.
