    B Soil color Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Soil pH Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Soil compaction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

      Soil texture, which includes the proportions of sand, silt, and clay, significantly affects the rate of evaporation from soil. Coarser soils (e.g., sandy soil) tend to have higher evaporation rates.
