The correct answer is (d) After O.M.C, the yield increases with the water content

To explain: OMC is the moisture content at which the yield of the crop is maximum. Below OMC, sufficient water is not available so, the yield of the crop is less. After OMC, the sufficient amount of air is not available so, the productivity decreases.
