Concept:Soil texture controls water retention, nutrient holding capacity, leaching, and temperature behaviour of soils.
Explanation:Option A is correct because fine particles have more surface area and hold more water than coarse soils.
Option C is correct because coarse-textured soils allow water to pass through easily, so leaching is greater in them.
Option D is correct because fine-textured soils have higher surface area and therefore hold more nutrients than coarse soils.
Option B is not correct: fine-textured soils are generally cool soils, while coarse-textured soils are warm soils.
The statement in option B reverses these temperature characteristics.
Answer:B. Fine-textured soils are warm soils and coarse-textured soils are cool soils.
