The correct option is SILT.
Terminal velocity refers to the constant speed with which an object fall under the force of gravity. The smaller the weight of the object, the faster will be the rate of falling of the objects. From the options given above, it is silt that has the smallest particle size and the right texture to achieve the highest terminal velocity.
