Solution(By Examveda Team)

A soil profile is a vertical section of soil, divided into several layers called horizons. The main horizons are A, B, C and D.
B horizon is commonly referred to as “Subsoil”. The B-horizon can accumulate minerals and organic matter that are migrating downwards from the A and E horizons. Because of this, it is also known as the illuviated or illuvial horizon.
