Detailed Solution

Clayey soil has maximum water retention capacity.
Water retention capacity refers to the water-holding capacity of the soil. The soil which has maximum water retention capacity is clayey. This is because the particles are very closely packed in clayey soil, and the percolation rate is very low. The particle of the soil thus holds the water in it. Furthermore, clayey soil is sticky, and because of its water retention capacity, it is best suited for use in commercial fields, like fixing the window pane etc.
