Correct Answer - Option 2 : Medium

Explanation:

Consistency Index: It is defined as a ratio of the difference between the liquid limit and the natural water content of the soil to the plasticity index.

\({I_c} = \frac{{{w_{L - W}}}}{{{I_p}}}\)

Where,

wL = water content at liquid limit

w = Natural water content

Ip = Platicity index
