Question

which correctly lists the three types of rock particles that make up soil?
air, clay, and sand
clay, water, and silt
sand, clay, and silt
silt, water, and air

Explanation:

To determine the correct option, we analyze the components of soil. Rock particles in soil are sand, clay, and silt. Air and water are not rock particles but other components of soil. So we eliminate options with air or water. The remaining option with sand, clay, and silt is correct.

Answer:

C. sand, clay, and silt (assuming the third option is labeled C; if the original labels are different, adjust accordingly, e.g., if the third option is the third circle, state "The third option: sand, clay, and silt")
