Question

hydric soil is:
○ rocky soil
○ dry soil
○ soil saturated with water
○ sandy soil

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the definition of hydric soil. Hydric soil is defined as soil that is saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough to develop anaerobic conditions. Among the options:

• "Rocky soil" refers to soil with a high rock content, not related to water saturation.
• "Dry soil" is the opposite of hydric (since hydric involves water).
• "Soil saturated with water" matches the definition of hydric soil.
• "Sandy soil" refers to soil texture (sandy), not water saturation.

Answer:

C. Soil saturated with water
