Both (A) and (B).<\/p>\n<p>Field capacity is the amount of water that a soil can hold against gravity. It is determined by the soil&#8217;s porosity and the capillary tension of the soil. Porosity is the amount of empty space in a soil, and capillary tension is the force that draws water up through the soil. The higher the porosity and the lower the capillary tension, the higher the field capacity of the soil.<\/p>\n<p>A soil with high porosity has <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> a lot of empty space, which allows water to move through the soil easily.
