Solution

Concept

Typical field capacity by soil texture

Step-by-step solution

1. Sand: 5–10% → 1. 2. Loam: 18–25% → 3. 3. Silty clay: 27–35% → 2. 4. Clay: 32–40% → 4.

Explanation

Field capacity rises with the fineness of the soil, from sand (lowest) to clay (highest).

Why the other options are wrong

The other codes break the order sand < loam < silty clay < clay.

Shortcut

Finer soil → higher field capacity.
