Answer:

The correct answer is - sample containing 30 percent sand, 35 percent clay, and 35 percent silt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The loam soil is a type of soil that is made from an equal amount of all three components are; sand, silt, and clay. Loam can be distinct as medium loam with little variation of the percentage of the components.

Among all the options last option has almost the same amount of the components of the soil, sand - 30 %, silt - 35 %, and clay - 35%
