Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Podzols are subarctic soils of the cold, humid northern coniferous forest (taiga), found between the mixed forests of the temperate zone and the tundras of the arctic zone. Chernozem is a black-coloured soil containing a high percentage of humus (7% to 15%), and high percentages of phosphoric acids, phosphorus and ammonia. Chernozem is very fertile and produces a high agricultural yield. Chemozein soils are found in humus rich grasslands such as in Prairies, Pampa and Steppes. Spools soils develop under coniferous vegetation. Lateritic, soils are found in hot and humid areas.
