Solution

The correct option is A Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I
The laterite soil is formed under conditions of high temperature and heavy rainfall. They are the result of intense leaching due to alternate wet and dry periods. With rain, lime and silica get leached away and soils rich in iron oxide and auminium compound are left behind.
