Solution

The correct option is D Because it is rich in soil nutrients
  • Black soil is rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium but has poor nitrogen content.
  • Crops like cotton, tobacco, chilly, oil seeds, jowar, ragi and maize grow well in it.
  • Sandy soil is low in nutrient content but is useful for growing trees such as coconut, cashew and casuarinas in areas with high rainfall.
