The correct option is B Acidic and Dark colored
Humification is a process in which organic material decomposes and breaks down. It results in the formation of humus. Humus is a dark-coloured, amorphous and acidic substance.
It occurs in soils and peats. It improves the quality of soil by providing nutrient substances like nitrogen.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Acidic, Dark coloured.'
