D Correct answer
Explanation

Alluvial soil is ideal for wheat and rice because it's formed by river deposits rich in nutrients like potash, phosphoric acid, and lime. It has excellent water retention capacity - crucial for rice - and is found extensively in Indo-Gangetic plains where these crops are primarily grown.
