Softscape paving includes

• A. Flagstone
• B. Concrete
• C. Marble chips
• D. Gravel

Answer: (C)

Softscape paving uses ground-cover materials that sit around plants rather than create a solid, load-bearing surface. Marble chips fit this use because they are a loose, decorative layer placed in planting beds or around shrubs. They don’t form a continuous pathway or structural surface like flagstone or concrete, and they’re not primarily a path material like gravel, which is typically used for walkways. Marble chips provide a tidy, weed-suppressing ground cover that can be easily refreshed, while enhancing aesthetics without turning the area into a hard, durable pavement.
