The right option is; gravel

The most permeable is gravel.

Gravel is grouped into granular gravel, and pebble gravel. Gravel are highly permeable and porous. Gravel can hold a lot of water, and water can flow easily through them.

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. It would be gravel that is the most permeable. It is the most porous and the the size of the pores are large enough to allow substances to seep in. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
