The correct arrangement of soil particles in order of increasing size is: (D) Clay – Silt – Sand.

Here's why:

1. Clay particles are the smallest of the three types of soil particles. They are less than 0.002 mm in diameter.

2. Silt particles are slightly larger than clay particles, ranging from 0.002 mm to 0.05 mm in diameter.

3. Sand particles are the largest of the three types of soil particles. They range from 0.05 mm to 2 mm in diameter.

So, the correct order from smallest to largest is Clay – Silt – Sand.
