    A drainable porosity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B effective rainfall Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C soil moisture Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D available water Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Specific yield is also known as drainable porosity. Specific yield represents the portion of groundwater in a soil or rock layer that can be drained or extracted by the force of gravity when the water table declines. It is a critical parameter in hydrogeology and groundwater resource management.
