A Correct answer
Explanation

Sandy soil consists of large particles that feel gritty when rubbed between fingers. Due to low organic content and large particle size, it appears pale brown, yellowish or light gray in color. Clayey soil feels smooth and is darker in color, while loamy soil is darker due to higher organic matter content.
