Solution
The correct option is D Soil getting soft and dry up
- Laterite is a soil rich in iron and aluminium, and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas.
- Nearly all laterites are of rusty-red colouration because of high iron oxide content.
- They develop by intensive and long-lasting weathering of the underlying parent rock.
