Detailed Solution

Clayey soil has the lowest percolation rate.
The particles present in the clayey soil are small in size and very close to each other and hence do not allow water to percolate quickly and have a high water holding capacity. While the percolation rates of loamy soils fall between those of sandy and clayey soils.
