Answer 1

B.  pH tests

Explanation:

The pH test is the best test that can be used to ascertain the acidity or alkalinity of the soil.

• pH scale is a reference scale for measuring the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
• Several pH tests can be conducted.
• We can take the soil sample and pour in commensurate amount of water then test the extract for acidity.
• pH values less than 7 depicts acidity
• A value of 7 is for neutral substances.
• Values greater than 7 are for alkaline soils.

Since the soil to be investigated by Ryan is acidic, we expect to get a pH reading of less than 7.
