C) available water.
D) hygroscopic water.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wilting point is the point at which a plant can no longer extract water from the soil, and field capacity is the maximum amount of water the soil can hold. The difference between field capacity and wilting point is the amount of available water that plants can use for growth. Therefore, the best choice is C, available water. Options A, B, and D are not correct because they do not accurately describe the difference between wilting point and field capacity.
