d) Capillary water

Answer: (d)

Capillarity is the primary force that enables the soil to retain water, as well as to regulate its movement. The phenomenon of capillarity also occurs in the soil. In the same way, that water moves upwards through a tube against the force of gravity; water moves upwards through soil pores or the spaces between soil particles.

Gravitational water occupies the larger soil pores (macropores) and moves down readily under the force of gravity. Water in excess of the field capacity is termed gravitational water. Gravitational water is of no use to plants because it occupies the larger pores. It reduces aeration in the soil.
