Question

1. Alluvial soil is also termed as riverine soil.
2. Alluvial soil is found in river valleys.

विकल्प

• (B) contradicts (A).

• (B) is the reason for (A).

• (A) is true but (B) is false.

• (A) and (B) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(B) is the reason for (A).

Explanation:

Alluvial soil, also known as riverine soil, is formed by the deposition of silt and sediments carried along rivers. Because these rivers naturally reduce their load as they slow down, soil accumulates heavily along river valleys, floodplains, and deltas. As a result, statement (B) specifies the physical location and procedure that immediately gave the soil its “riverine” moniker in statement (A).
