Solution

The correct option is C Laterite Soil
In the South Western part of India we find laterite soil in plenty.
This region to the west of Western Ghats receives plenty of rainfall. It causes intense leaching, by which nutrients or organic matter are lost from the soil. Hence these soils are generally not fertile.
