Solution
The correct option is B Laterite soil Tea and coffee can be grown using alluvial, mountain and laterite soils. Alluvial and mountain soils are fertile and contain most of the minerals while laterite soil lacks certain minerals. Under better irrigation facilities and climate, laterite soil can be used for cultivation of tea and coffee.
