Solution

The correct option is B Sub soil
The sub soil is a mixture of sand, silt, and clay. The top soil is the uppermost layer of the soil which contains plants and humus. Just below the top soil is the sub soil. Followed by a layer of weathered rock material and then finally, the bedrock or parent rock from which soil is formed.
