Solution

The correct option is C Laterite soil
Intensive leaching is the primary explanation for the formation of laterite soils. Owing to heavy tropical rainfall more than 200 cms and high temperatures, leaching occurs. Lime and silica are leached away as a result of high precipitation, and soils rich in iron oxide and aluminium compounds are left behind.
The correct answer is C .
