Solution
The correct option is D Laterite soil
Laterite soil develops under tropical and subtropical climates with alternate wet and dry seasons. Heavy rainfall causes leaching of silica and lime, while iron oxide and aluminium compounds are left behind. Laterite soil is found on hill slopes. It is widely cut as bricks and used for house construction. Bricks in Latin are called "later", from which the word 'Laterite' has been derived.
