A Correct answer
Explanation

Red soil, black soil, and peaty soil are all associated with tropical or subtropical regions (red and black soils are typical of tropical India, peaty soils form in tropical wetlands). Brown soil, however, is typically associated with temperate regions (like brown forest soils in Europe and North America), not tropical climates.
