To match the soil types in List-I with their descriptions in List-II, we need to identify the characteristics of each type of soil and match them with the correct descriptions:
- Histosols: These soils are known for having a thick upper layer rich in organic matter. Generally, they are characterized by a high organic content and relatively little mineral material. Therefore, the correct description for Histosols is "Soils with a thick upper layer very rich in organic matter (0.25%) and containing relatively little mineral material." This matches with description 2.
- Oxisols: These are very old, highly leached soils with a subsurface accumulation of iron and aluminium oxides, commonly found in tropical environments. This matches with description 3.
- Ultisols: Soils of this type have a subsurface horizon of clay accumulation, are highly leached, and are commonly found in humid tropical and subtropical climates, which fits description 1.
- Vertisols: These soils develop deep, wide cracks when dry due to high clay content (0.35%) and are not highly leached. This matches with description 4.
Based on the above analysis, the correct answer is:
A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4
Thus, the correct code is option (c), which correlates to List-I and List-II as follows:
| A | Histosols | 2. Soils with a thick upper layer very rich in organic matter (0.25%)... |
| B | Oxisols | 3. Very old, highly leached soils with subsurface accumulation of iron... |
| C | Ultisols | 1. Soils with a subsurface horizon of clay accumulation, highly leached... |
| D | Vertisols | 4. Soils that develop deep, wide cracks when dry due to high clay content... |
