Solution
The correct option is D None of these
- Particles of sandy soil are loosely packed and hence can move along with the wind.
- Residual soil remains at the place of its formation.
- Alluvial soil is made up of smooth particles and hence carried away with water.
- Clayey soil is stickier and better structured so it is not transported by wind.
Therefore, option (B) is correct.
