a good soil is that which

1. allows little water to enter in it
2. allows extra water to percolate slowly
3. holds water entering it
4. allows water to pass through it quickly

The correct option is 2.
Soil is considered the "skin of the earth" with interfaces between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Soil consists of a solid phase (minerals and organic matter) as well as a porous phase that holds gases and water. Accordingly, soils are often treated as a three-state system.
