What can be the biggest challenge for plants in sandy soil?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Low water holding capacity

The direct answer is D: sandy soil has low water-holding capacity. Sand has relatively large spaces between its particles, so rain or irrigation water moves downward quickly. The step-by-step chain is: large particles create wide gaps; water drains rapidly; little water remains near roots; plants may face dryness. Option A, excess waterlogging, is generally the opposite problem of sandy soil, although local conditions can vary. Option B, very high moisture, is not the usual property because water escapes quickly. Option C, permanent snow, is a climate condition and has no necessary connection with sandy soil. Option D is correct because poor water retention can make plant growth difficult, especially where rainfall is low. Thorny or drought-resistant plants are better adapted to such dryness. Memory cue: sand lets water pass.
