Identify the INCORRECT pair of Soil Horizon and its characteristic:

Correct Answer: B Horizon — Weathered bedrock (rotten rock)

Subject: geography

• O Horizon — Humus on the ground surface
• A Horizon — Topsoil rich in organic matter
• B Horizon — Weathered bedrock (rotten rock)
• E Horizon — Leached minerals and organic matter

Explanation: The 'B Horizon' is the Subsoil (zone of accumulation or illuviation), NOT weathered bedrock. The 'C Horizon' contains weathered bedrock. • Soluble minerals leached from above accumulate in the B Horizon. • The 'R Horizon' sits at the very bottom and consists of unweathered parent bedrock. • A, B, and D are perfectly matched to their correct pedological definitions. • 'C' stands for Crushed/Cracked rocks (weathered bedrock). 'B' stands for Below topsoil (Accumulation). • The E Horizon (Eluviation layer) is specifically the zone where maximum leaching occurs, sitting between A and B. • ट्रिक: B Horizon = खनिजों का संचय (Accumulation)। C Horizon = अपक्षयित आधार चट्टान।
