Solution

The correct option is C Deccan traps
The Deccan Trap region witnessed many volcanic eruptions in the past, when the Indian plate was still moving northwards.

Over time, the lava from the volcanoes continued to accumulate and became solid rocks called igneous rocks.

Continuous weathering and erosion of these rocks formed the black soil.
