Solution

The correct option is A Saline
Saline soil is formed in inland areas, where there is poor drainage and the subsoil water table is quite high. The salts percolate in the soil and accumulate over time, increasing the salinity or salt content of the soil. During the dry season, the salt in the soil deposits on the surface as a white layer, giving it the appearance of a snow capped land.
