C)pedogenesis 
D)eluviation

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Permeability is the measure of how easily water (or other fluids) can flow through a material, such as soil or rock. It directly affects the ease with which water can move through the ground. Porosity refers to the volume of pores or voids in a material but does not directly indicate how easily fluids can flow through. Pedogenesis is the process of soil formation, and eluviation involves the leaching of soluble substances from soil, neither of which directly pertains to the ease of water flow through the ground.
