Answer: A. high porosity and high permeability

Step-by-step explanation:

Porosity can be define as the quality of the material of having pores or holes. The permeability can be define as the state or quality of a material that allow the liquids or gases to pass through it.

The soil which does not hold much water can be considered of high porosity and high permeability. As it is only possible if the soil has large number of pores and it is not in compact form.
