Technically porous wood is (b) Soft wood.

Porous wood refers to wood that has larger spaces between its fibers, allowing it to absorb more water. This characteristic is typical of softwoods, such as pine, spruce, and cedar, which have fewer fibers and are less dense compared to hardwoods like oak or maple. Therefore, the correct answer is (b) Soft.
