percolation is
A
liquid slowly passing through a filter
B
Liquids ability to enter the surface layer of soil
C
A perk of drinking Cola
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Percolation is the process of a liquid slowly passing through a filter. It’s how coffee is usually made. Percolation comes from the Latin word percolare, which means “to strain through.” Percolation happens when liquid is strained through a filter, like when someone makes coffee.

Detailed explanation-2: -In physics, chemistry, and materials science, percolation (from Latin percolare ‘to filter, trickle through’) refers to the movement and filtering of fluids through porous materials.

Detailed explanation-3: -Percolation is the movement of water through the soil itself. Finally, as the water percolates into the deeper layers of the soil, it reaches ground water, which is water below the surface. The upper surface of this underground water is called the “water table".

Detailed explanation-4: -Percolate comes from a Latin verb meaning “to put through a sieve". Something that percolates filters through something else, just as small particles pass through a sieve. Water is drawn downward through the soil, and this percolation usually cleans the water.

Detailed explanation-5: -Percolation is the movement of water through soil, and the percolation rate is the speed at which that movement occurs. Percolation rate is calculated using the following formula: Percolation rate = Amount of water (mL)percolation time (mins)
