Which particle has a high rate of deposition?

Answer
A
a low-density particle
B
a small particle falling off a cliff
C
a particle with jagged, rough ends
D
a large round particle settling on a surface

Explanation

Large, round particles tend to settle quickly because they are relatively heavy and experience less drag than small or irregularly shaped particles. As a result, they are deposited on a surface at a high rate. The correct choice is “a large round particle settling on a surface.”
