Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: Laterite soil — Bihar (not correctly matched). Reason: Laterite soil forms in high-rainfall areas with intense leaching and is commonly found in parts of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Odisha, and the Northeast. It is not typically associated with Bihar. The other pairs are commonly correct: alluvial soil is widespread in Uttar Pradesh, black (regur) soil is prominent in Maharashtra, and red soil is common in Tamil Nadu.
