C Correct answer
Explanation

Red soil is difficult to cultivate because it is highly weathered, has low fertility, poor water-holding capacity, and is prone to erosion. It forms in tropical climates with high rainfall. Alluvial soil is the most fertile. Black (regur) soil is moisture-retentive and productive. Sandy soil drains well but can be cultivated with irrigation.
