Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): The surface of a 'Pedon' is roughly polygonal.
Statement (II): The surface area of a pedon ranges from 1 m\textsuperscript{2} to 10 m\textsuperscript{2}.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Hint:

A pedon is a 3D unit for studying soils in the field—both its shape and size are defined.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

A pedon represents the smallest unit of soil with all the characteristics of a soil profile. Its surface is generally polygonal, and the area typically ranges between 1 to 10 m².
