B Correct answer
Explanation

Black soil (regur soil) is ideal for cotton because it has high clay content, excellent moisture retention, and becomes sticky when wet but cracks when dry. These properties allow cotton roots to penetrate deeply while maintaining adequate moisture. Cotton is traditionally the main crop in black soil regions of Deccan plateau.
