Answer: C. permeable

Step-by-step explanation:

Permeability is a measure of how easily water flows through soil. A soil that is made up of large, jagged rocks is likely to be more permeable than a soil that is made up of compact clay. One way to test a soil's permeability is to pour water through it. More permeable soil will allow water to pass through it rapidly, while less permeable soil will block more of the water.
