Solution

The correct option is D All the above

Soil formation is a long and complex process. Soil formation is driven by various factors like climatic conditions, topography of the region, living organisms and the type of parent material. Parent materials are the raw material which are broken down into smaller macro particles by natural forces to form soil. Therefore the type of soil is also dependent on these factors.
