Answer:

The correct option is;

soil, rock, organic layer

Step-by-step explanation:

Permeability is the ability of a layer of rock to transmit fluid such as oil or water

The factors that affect the permeability of a rock layer includes the sizes of the rock particles, the ratio of the available voids to the solid mass of the rock, the presence of trapped air and the presence of organic matter

Rocks such as gravels, and sparingly cemented sands have high permeability

The most impermeable of the options are granite and clay which for granite has large particle mass and contain no voids while clay has very fine particles packed together with little room for water

Therefore, water moves easily between layers soil, rock, organic layer
