A Correct answer
Explanation

Regur (black cotton soil) is formed from the weathering of volcanic basalt rocks, primarily in the Deccan Plateau region. In contrast, Bhabar, Bangar, and Khadar are all alluvial soil types formed by river deposition in the Indo-Gangetic plains. The three alluvial soils share a similar depositional origin, while Regur has a completely different formation mechanism from volcanic parent material.
