Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: a) Shallow and less fertile soils.
The Kandi region of Punjab is a hilly area with shallow and less fertile soils. The soils are sandy and have low organic matter content. The region is also prone to erosion.
The other options are incorrect:
- Option b: Fertile alluvial soils are found in the plains of Punjab. These soils are rich in nutrients and are ideal for agriculture.
- Option c: Black cotton soils are found in the Deccan Plateau of India. These soils are rich in iron and aluminum oxides and are well-suited for growing cotton.
- Option d: Red lateritic soils are found in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. These soils are rich in iron and aluminum oxides and are well-suited for growing crops such as coffee, tea, and rubber.
