Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Podsolization is a complex soil formation process by which dissolved organic matter like silica and ions of iron and aluminium, released through weathering of various minerals, form organo-mineral complexes and are moved from the upper parts of the soil profile and deposit in the deeper parts of soil.
