Solution

The correct option is A True

Weathering of rocks produces small particles of various materials. These include sand and clay. The relative amount of sand and clay depends upon the rock from which the particles were formed, that is the parent rock. The mixture of rock particles and humus is called the soil. Living organisms, such as bacteria, plant roots and earthworms are also important parts of any soil.
