B) the less porous, the less permeable
C) porosity and permeability are not related
D) the more porous,the less permeable

Answer 1

B) the less porous, the less permeable

Porous means "full of holes."

Permeable means "stuff can go through it."

The more porous something is, the more permeable it is.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B. The less porous the less permeable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The porosity of a solid is a character that explains how much the space present between the grains of the solid. The rocks with more space in its grain have high porosity.

Permeability is the ability to pass a liquid through itself and it is closely related to the porosity. The more porosity the more permeability and vice verse.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
