Read the given statements.
Statement I: Clay is the smallest particle of soil.
Statement II: Sand is the smallest particle of soil.
Which of the following is correct about the above statements?

Answer: A. I is true

The correct answer is A) I is true. Soil particles are categorized by size into sand, silt, and clay. Sand has the largest particles, which you can feel as grit between your fingers. Clay consists of the smallest particles, measuring less than 0.002 mm in diameter. Because they are so tiny, clay particles pack tightly together and hold the most water.
