Answer: A) poorly graded gravel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the Unified Soil Classification System is used in engineering and geology, to know the properties of a given soil.

Some of those properties are texture, plasticity, strength, among other characteristics.

IT is represented by a 2 letter symbol; in this case we have GP.

G stands for gravel, and P stands poorly graded.

So, GP stands for poorly graded gravel.
