____ is the relative ease in which water and air can move easily through soil.
A
humus
B
porosity
C
permeability
D
conservation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Permeability is the ease with which water can flow through any medium. In Soil mechanics, Permeability of soil is a soil property that describes quantitatively the ease with which water flows through the soil. The permeability of soil is a very important engineering property.

Detailed explanation-2: -Movement of water into soil is called infiltration, and the downward movement of water within the soil is called percolation, permeability or hydraulic conductivity. Pore space in soil is the conduit that allows water to infiltrate and percolate.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ease with which water moves through a soil or rock type is called permeability. You can estimate the per-meability of soil by timing how quickly water can flow through it. Physical characteristics of soil par-ticles, such as size and shape, influence the porosity and permeability of soils and rocks.
