Solution
The correct option is B A is true but R is false. Black or regur soil is tilled during the pre-monsoon season or immediately after the first shower. Due to the presence of clay, the soil has a high water holding capacity. Therefore, in wet conditions, the soil becomes sticky and makes it difficult for agricultural activities.
Black soil is famous for the cultivation of cotton.
