Answer

The correct answer is Soil

Explanation

Water is stored and distributed in soils according to the texture and structure with respect to the difference in potential energy. Clay-rich soils have the largest pore spaces thus experience the highest total water holding capacities. In this image, saturation will first occur in the soil layer when it rains.
