Solution

The correct option is A It can support plant and animal life.
Soil is the mixture of humus (decayed plants and animals) and broken bits of rocks. It supports the growth of plants by supplying the required water and nutrients to it. Animals are directly or indirectly dependent on plants for their growth. Hence, we can conclude that soil can support plant and animal life.
