Question

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : Soil structure determines the volume of soil accessible to the root system.
Statement (II) : Soil depth is based on the distribution and aggregation of soil particles and determines the distribution of pore sizes.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
• C. Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
• D. Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.

Hint:

Always check for swapped definitions in comparative statements. Soil depth is a vertical physical boundary (affecting root volume), while soil structure is the horizontal/spatial aggregation of particles (affecting pore sizes).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
