b- Silty loam
c-Sandy clay

a-Clay is the answer to your question

Answer 2

A. Clay

Step-by-step explanation:

The soil texture triangle is used to determine the type of soil present in the sample on the basis of percentage of clay, sand and silt in the soil sample. Putting the values of each soil type (clay= 55%, sand =25% and silt =20), the type of soil present in the same becomes to be "clay".
