<span>The important characteristic of soil that determines the water holding capacity is the composition of the soil.

The soil's ability to hold water mostly depends on its porosity, or more simply its composition. If the soil is made out of materials like clay, which have smaller particles that enable more water to stick to it, then the soil will be able to hold a lot of water.

Answer:

The correct answer is A. transplanted organs contain antigens that can trigger white blood cell activity

The process of destruction of the transplanted organ is called rejection.Immunosuppressive drugs will be provided to prevent your immune system from damaging the transplanted organ. Organ transplants require the use of immunosuppressive drugs capable of controlling the immune response triggered by the presence of antigens foreign to the body itself. The group of immunosuppressants is made up of drugs indicated both in the prevention of rejection of the transplanted organ and in its reversal.
