Soil:
- It develops in areas with high temperature.
- It is the result of intense leaching due to heavy rain.
- Humus content is low.
- Arid soil
- Yellow soil
- Laterite soil
- Black soil
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The characteristics described match Laterite soil, which:
1. Develops in regions with high temperatures and heavy rainfall.
2. Forms due to intense leaching, where nutrients are washed away by rain, leaving the soil infertile.
3. Has low humus content because the warm and humid conditions accelerate the decomposition of organic matter.
Other options do not fit:
- Arid soil: Found in dry areas, not associated with heavy rain.
- Yellow soil: Typically forms in forested regions, not due to leaching.
- Black soil: Known for its high fertility and is associated with cotton production.
