Porosity is inversely proportional of permeability.
That is porosity of clay >silt >sand > gravel.
Where as permeability is gravel >sand >silt> clay.
That is porosity of clay >silt >sand > gravel.
Where as permeability is gravel >sand >silt> clay.

Water easily pass through sand, but not incase of clay. So how option A is right?

How can clay be more porous as compared to sand?

Guys porosity is the water bearing capacity.
Clay can hold more water than sand.
Clay can hold more water than sand.

D correct.
Porosity - % age of availability of pores.
Permeability - % age of water flow through it.
In sand - Pores % age are less, so we are not compacted.
In soil - Pores % age are more, so we are compacted mechanical mean.
Simple.

Question is wrong. It need to be corrected, because clay will never be porous than sand.

Porosity is measure that tells you how much water can be retained in a soil while permeability is measure of ease with which water can pass through. So clay is more porous.

Yes, the clay has less porous than sand.
