The soil fabric on the wet side of optimum is typically
- AFlocculated
- BDispersedCorrect
- CEither dispersed or flocculated
- DNone of these
Solution
Concept
Fabric of compacted clay
Step-by-step solution
1. Dry of optimum: flocculated. 2. Wet of optimum: dispersed.
Explanation

Why the other options are wrong
Flocculated is the dry-side structure.
Shortcut
Wet side = dispersed.
Correct answer: B) Dispersed
