Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Soil water available to roots is called Capillary water.
Capillary water is held in pores that are small enough to hold water against gravity, but not so tightly that roots cannot absorb it.
This water occurs as a film around soil particles and in the pores between them and is the main source of plant moisture.
