How does the dominance of sand in soil texture affect the infiltration rate?

Correct answer: It significantly increases the rate

Correct answer: B. Sandy soil is made mainly of relatively large particles. The spaces between these particles are generally large and well connected, so rainwater can enter the soil quickly. This produces a high infiltration rate, although sandy soil usually stores less water than fine-textured clay-rich soil. A is opposite to the usual effect of coarse, loose sand. C is incorrect because water can readily pass through sandy pores; infiltration does not become zero. D is unrelated: condensation is a change of water vapor into liquid or, in some contexts, a surface process, not the downward entry of water into soil. Soil compaction or very fine sediment can reduce infiltration, but those conditions are different from naturally loose sand. Memory cue: large pores allow rapid entry, but weak storage.
