Final answer:
The correct answer is D. None of the above, as the Liquidity Index of a sensitive or quick clay does not need to fall within a specific range to be characterized as such.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question posed relates to the Liquidity Index (LI) of a sensitive or quick clay. Sensitive clays are known for their drastic reduction in strength from an undisturbed to a disturbed state. The Liquidity Index is a measure used in soil mechanics to define the state of consistency of a cohesive soil in natural conditions. It is calculated as the ratio of the difference between the natural water content of the soil and the plastic limit, over the difference between the liquid limit and the plastic limit of the soil.
For a sensitive or quick clay, the Liquidity Index does not inherently need to be less than 0, between 0 and 1, or greater than 1. The LI provides information about how close the clay is to behaving in a liquid manner (when LI > 1) or how solid it is (when LI < 0). It is the nature of behavior change upon disturbance that characterizes sensitive clays, rather than a specific range of LI.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: D. None of the above.
