Option 3 : Sand

Explanation:

Different types of soils are as follows:

Plasticity index	Soil type	Degree of plasticity	Degree of cohesiveness
0	Gravel and sand	Non - plastic	Non-cohesive
< 7	silty	Low plastic	Partly cohesive
7 - 17	silt clay	medium plastic	Cohesive
> 17	clay	High plastic	Cohesive

The plasticity index for soil is generally zero for gravels and sands.

DA is a cost of living adjustment allowance paid to government employees, public sector employees and pensioners in the country. It is calculated as a percentage of an employee’s basic salary to mitigate the impact of inflation on people. II. Since theindex is used to determine dearness allowance of all government employees and industrial workers there may be significant financial implication. III. The trend so far is that the weightage of transport, healthcare and housing has gone up many fold in the new series in the monthly expenditure of an industrial worker, especially consumption of petrol and diesel with the addition of cars to it, while there is decline in overall food basket which is being diversified.?
