22. Two soil samples were subjected to CaCO3 incubation method for lime requirement determination, one is a clayey soil with high organic matter content while the other is a sandy clay loam soil with low organic matter content, both have the same pH of 4.0, what would be the most probable result if the same amount of lime is added to both soil?        A. Sand clay loam with low OM will have lower pH compared to that of clayey soil with high OM       B. There will be no change in pH       C. Both soils will have the same increase in pH       D. Clayey soil with high OM will have a lower pH compared to that of sandy clay loam soil with low OM
