Solution

The correct option is A Parent rock
the presence and type of parent rock is the most determining factor in the formation of soil. This is because the parent decides what type of soil will be formed. The soil constituents, chemical nature, what type of crops it can grow is all determined by the type of parent rock.
So the correct answer is "A".
