Red soils are formed due to the weathering of:

The correct answer is (a) Igneous rocks.

Igneous rocks are formed when magma or lava cools and solidifies. They are the most common type of rock on Earth, and they make up the majority of the planet’s crust. Igneous rocks can be classified into two main types: intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools and solidifies beneath the Earth’s surface. Extrusive igneous rocks form when lava cools and solidifies on the Earth’s surface.

Red soils are formed when igneous rocks weather. The weathering process is caused by the action of water, wind, and ice. These agents break down
