Question

pH value of neutral soil is

• A. less than 7.0
• B. more than 7.0
• C. only 7.0
• D. more than 8.5

Hint:

Think: Acid $<$ 7, Neutral $=$ 7, Alkaline $>$ 7.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the pH scale.
On the pH scale (0–14), pH = 7 is neutral, $<7$ acidic, $>7$ alkaline.
Step 2: Match with options.
Only option (C) states exactly 7.0, which defines neutrality; (A) and (B) indicate acidic/alkaline ranges, and (D) is strongly alkaline.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Therefore, the neutral soil pH is 7.0 only.
