Solution

The correct option is A top soil
The topmost layer of the soil is called topsoil. This layer is usually fairly loose, porous, dark and rich in humus. The humus is derived from decomposed and partly decomposed organic matters of plant and animal origin in the soil. It plays important role in maintaining the fertility of the soil.
