Identify the correct match of the type of water given in column-I and its character in column-II and select the correct option.

Column-I Column-II
(i) Capillary water (a) present in the form of hydrated oxides of silicon and aluminium.
(ii) Hygroscopic water (b) goes down through large pores between soil particles and reaches the water table.
(iii) Combined water (c) held in between small non-colloidal soil particles.
(iv) Gravitational water (d) held tightly around soil particles by adhesive forces.
