Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] Black soils have high fertility and are capable of retaining high moisture. The presence of Titaniferous Magnetite is the reason behind the black colour of the Black soil. Black soil is also called the self-ploughed soil. Black soils are highly retentive of moisture, extremely compact and tenacious when wet, considerably contracted developing deep wide cracks on drying and self-ploughing. Leaching is not a phenomenon that Black soil suffer from.
