Agreed with your explanation @Aiman Rouman.

If the compression occurs "RAPIDLY" in soil, that means the voids are filled with air only.

So, the given answer is correct.

Fast process:

In compaction only air removed.

Slow and time-dependent process:
Consolidation involves the removal of both air and water.
