Solution

The correct option is B False
Under acidic conditions of the soil, crops fail to absorb necessary minerals from the soil which affects their growth. This results in a huge loss for farmers. Therefore, farmers treat the acidic soil with mildly basic substances like quick lime, slaked lime or calcium carbonate to neutralize the effect of acidic substances in the soil.
