Solution

The correct option is A Alluvial soil
Alluvial soils are formed mainly due to silt deposited by Indo-Gangetic-Brahmaputra rivers. They are the largest soil group covering about 15 lakh sq km or about 6 percent of the total area. They support more than 40% of India’s population by providing the most productive agricultural lands.
