C Correct answer
Explanation

Peat is acidic in nature and can effectively neutralize alkaline soils by lowering their pH levels. It contains organic matter that improves soil structure while reducing excessive alkalinity. Lime and calcium carbonate are used to treat acidic soils as they increase pH, while water alone does not change soil chemistry significantly.
