Ans.
It is basically defined as the water content between field capacity of the soil and the wilting point of the plant. Hence the correct option is (A). Field capacity of soil is that condition when soil has reached saturated level and if more water is added to the soil, it will float over the soil while wilting point is the point, below which if water level goes, the plant will wither.
