C Correct answer
Explanation

Loamy soil is a balanced mixture of sand, silt and clay particles, making it ideal for plant growth. It contains high organic matter content in the form of humus, which improves soil structure, water retention and nutrient availability. Sandy soil drains too quickly and has low organic content, while clayey soil is too dense and poorly aerated.
