A Correct answer
Explanation

Sandy soil has large particles with significant pore space between them, which allows water to drain and percolate through it much faster than through clayey or loamy soils. Clay particles are very fine and tightly packed, holding water back. Therefore, sandy soil exhibits the highest percolation rate.
