Answer: B. The particles will settle into layers with organic material on the top and rocks on bottom

Step-by-step explanation:

Soil contains different particles in it from various types of souls such as sand and silt to organic material. These particles have different weights and sizes and so can be separated by the glass jar experiment above.

With soil having larger particles. They will appear in the bottom of the jar and but the top will have decaying and partially decayed material.
