Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The structure of the soil affects the characteristics of soil because it determines the overall quality of soil. The size and shape of the soil particles provides the structure of the soil.

It influences the growth of the plants growing by affecting the movement of water, nutrients and air to plants.

It also determines the pore space which helps in water percolation and water holding capacity of the cell.
