Solution
The correct option is D Laterite
Uttara Kannada, Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru, and Belagavi have more of laterite soil. This kind of soil formed in areas that obtain heavy rainfall and have a high temperature. Watercourse soluble lime and silicates dissolved in rainwater settle down in the lower layers. Iron and aluminium, which are non-soluble, remain in the top layers. The soil becomes yielding during the rainy season and dries up during summer, most important to the formation of laterite rock. This rock is used for construction purposes. Cashew, coffee, tea, cardamom, pepper, rubber, coconut, and other commercial crops are grown in this soil.
