Solution

The correct option is B Forest and mountainous soil
The northernmost part of India consists of mountainous regions with forests. Hence the soils found here is named as forest and mountainous soil. The soil on the slopes of the hill is generally thin. Coarser particles are present more in the upper reaches of the slopes while finer particles are carried away to the bottom of the hill.
