Solution

The correct option is D Alluvial soil

Alluvial soil is rich in humus, lime and organic matters. It is said to be the highly fertile soil and it is deposited largely in the northern plains of India out of the deposition work of Indus-Ganga-Brahmaputra rivers. In Peninsular India, this type of soil is mostly found in deltas and estuaries.
