Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

With the addition of electrolytes in a soil-colloidal system, the thickness of the Double Diffuse layer will Decrease.
The soil colloidal system is the most active constituent of the soil and it determines the physical and chemical properties of the soil. And double diffuse layer is an ionic structure that describes the variation of electric potential near a charged surface, such as clay, and behaves as a capacitor.
