Laterite soil is formed due to the process of:

The correct answer is: b) Weathering.

Laterite soil

is a type of soil that is rich in iron and aluminum oxides. It is formed when tropical or subtropical soils are exposed to intense weathering and leaching. The process of weathering breaks down the rocks and minerals in the soil, and the leaching process removes the soluble minerals, leaving behind the insoluble iron and aluminum oxides.

Deposition is the process of material being deposited by water, wind, or ice. Erosion is the process of material being removed from the Earth’s surface by water, wind, or ice. Glaciation is the process of glaciers moving over the Earth’s surface.

Laterite soil is not formed by deposition, erosion, or glaciation. It is formed by weathering.
