Agree with Mr.Fuad's answer.
I think we have tow answer for this question , the first going with question for the choice A&B , but about the others C&D , sorry Ms ksenija , I do'nt know what the question mean by the siz 0 ,,, if we return back to the explanation of the AASHTO classification of soils and soil - aggregate mixtures for highway construction purposes M 145 table 2 which is maintained that the general classification of the silt-clay materials those which are contained percent passing from Sieve analysis No.200 (0.075 mm ) more than 35% and at least 36% and the characteristics of fraction passing 0.425mm(No.40) of laquid limit for the group A4 must be 40max & 41 min for group A5 , and the plasticity index are 10max for A4 & A5 , those are usual types of significant constituent as ,,, Silty soils ,,, . And the other group classification A6 & A7 with the sub group A-7-5 & A-7-6 , also have 36min percent passing ( No. 200) 0.075mm , and the characteristics of fraction passing 0.425mm(No.40) ,of LIQUID LIMIT for group A - 6 must be 40max, and for group A-7 with subgroups A-7-5 & A -7-6 must be 41 min ,,, and the PLASTICITY INDEX for all A-6 and A-7wlth the subgroups All must be 11min ,,, those are usual types of significant constituent as ,,,, Clayey Soil ,,, .Sorry if I go with more details but I think its necessary for us to discuss this with the specification ,,,,, tanks
The right answer is under E. All the above
