Question

Match List-I with List-II

List-I	List-II
(A) Loess	(III) Deposits by wind
(B) Peat	(IV) Organic soil
(C) Alluvial soil	(I) Deposited from suspension in running water
(D) Marl	(II) Deposits of marine origin

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)

Hint:

Loess is deposited by wind, alluvial soil is deposited by water, peat is organic, and marl is from marine deposits.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Soil Types and Origins.
- (A) Loess: Loess is a type of soil that is deposited by wind, so it corresponds to (III).
- (B) Peat: Peat is organic material formed from decaying plants, and it is found in areas with abundant vegetation, making it correspond to (IV).
- (C) Alluvial soil: Alluvial soils are deposited by running water, so they correspond to (I).
- (D) Marl: Marl is a mixture of clay and calcium carbonate, and it originates from marine deposits, making it correspond to (II).

Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct matching is: (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV), making option (1) the correct answer.

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{1. \, (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)} \]
