Which of the following is not a significant factor in determining whether precipitation will soak into the ground or run off on the surfaces? A) lithology B) amount and duration of precipitation C) vegetation D) steepness of the slope E) saturation level

Lithology, which refers to the physical characteristics of the rocks, such as porosity and permeability, significantly influences water infiltration and runoff. However, in the context of the question asking for factors not influencing whether precipitation soaks into the ground or runs off, lithology is indeed a significant factor, and my initial response was incorrect. All the options listed (lithology, amount and duration of precipitation, vegetation, steepness of the slope, saturation level) are significant factors in determining whether precipitation will soak into the ground or run off on the surfaces. Therefore, there is no correct answer provided in the options as all are significant factors. My initial guidance was mistaken, and I appreciate your understanding.
