    E Plasticity is the soil's capacity to absorb water and swell. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Soil plasticity refers to the soil's ability to change its shape under moist conditions. Soils containing more than 15% clay exhibit plasticity, which means they can be molded or shaped when wet and retain that shape when dry. This property is particularly important in determining the workability and structure of the soil.
