C Correct answer
Explanation

Western Rajasthan's arid soils have high calcium carbonate content due to low rainfall which prevents leaching. The desert conditions lead to calcium accumulation. Phosphorus (A) is typically deficient in these soils, nitrogen (B) is low in desert soils, and aluminum (D) is more associated with acidic laterite soils, not arid regions.
