A Correct answer
Explanation

Loam is soil composed of sand, silt and clay in relatively even concentration (about 40-40-20% concentration respectively). It is considered ideal for gardening and agricultural uses. Loam soils generally contain more nutrients and humus than sandy soils, which have better infiltration and drainage than silty soils and are easier to till than clay soils.
