Solution
The correct option is A Desert soil
The characteristics of arid zones are their dry to very dry and irregular climate, lack of trees, and generally irregular distribution of vegetation, which constitute a very loose soil coverage.
Under these very severe conditions, the soils in such regions possess a number of constant characteristics: slow evolution, frequent shallowness; highly evolved organic matter content, either scanty and superficial, and these soils are also frequently saline.
