Solution

The correct option is B Alluvial soil
The alluvial soil brought by the rivers from the Himalayas form the Northern Plains. Plains are generally described as flatlands, with very little variation in relief. Hence the name “plains”. These plains have certain variations in the relief, too, and are classified into four regions - Bhabar, Terai, Bhangar and Khadar.
