C. NaHCO3
D. Na2CO3
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Na2CO3 is the dominating salt among the given options in alkali soil. Alkali soils owe their unfavorable physio-chemical properties mainly to the dominating presence of sodium carbonate, which causes the soil to swell and difficult to clarify and settle.Alkali soils are clay soils with high pH, a poor soil structure and a low infiltration capacity. They have a hard calcareous layer at 0.5 to 1 meter depth.
