Solution

The correct option is A Sandy soil
In Rajasthan, both granite and sandstone give birth to sandy soil. Sandy soils have low moisture storage. High evaporation and low capacity limit the availability of rainwater for plant use. As Rajasthan is mostly covered by desert, it has sandy soil to the most extent.
