Solution

The correct option is B Laterite soil
The Laterite soil develops in the areas with high temperature and heavy rainfall. This soil is highly leached due to heavy rains. The humus content of laterite soil is low as most of the microorganisms, particularly the decomposers, like bacteria, get destroyed due to high temperature.
