Solution
The correct option is A Organic matter (compost)
To improve quality and reduce the basic nature of the soil, the organic matter must be added to the soil.
(A) Organic matter (compost) releases acids that can neutralize the base of the soil and hence the quality of soil can be improved.
(B) Quick lime (CaO) is basic so it will not be helpful.
(C) Slaked lime Ca(OH)2 is also basic and so it will not be helpful.
(D) Calamine ZnCO3 is also basic and not be helpful to reduce pH.
