Solution

The correct options are
A

Clayey and loamy


B

Sandy and clayey


Clayey and loamy soil both have fine particles and therefore they retain more water as compared to other types of soil. In other words, these soil types have low percolation rates. Hence crops like wheat and gram grow well in clayey and loamy soil.
