If the intensity of rainfall is more than the infiltration capacity of soil, then the infiltration rate will be A. equal to rate of rainfall B. equal to infiltration capacity C. more than rate of rainfall D. more than infiltration capacity

The correct answer is D. more than infiltration capacity.

Infiltration is the process by which water on the surface of the soil moves into the soil. The rate of infiltration is the amount of water that can enter the soil per unit of time. The infiltration capacity is the maximum rate at which water can infiltrate into the soil.

If the intensity of rainfall is more than the infiltration capacity of the soil, then the rate of infiltration will be more than the infiltration capacity. This is because the water will not be able to infiltrate into the soil fast enough, and it will start to run off the surface.

Option A is incorrect because the rate of infiltration cannot be equal to the rate of rainfall if the infiltration capacity is less than the rate of rainfall.

Option B is incorrect because the infiltration capacity is the maximum rate at which water can infiltrate into the soil, and if the intensity of rainfall is more than the infiltration capacity, then the rate of infiltration will be more than the infiltration capacity.

Option C is incorrect because the rate of infiltration cannot be more than the infiltration capacity if the infiltration capacity is less than the rate of rainfall.
