- APeaty soil
- BAlluvial soil
- CLaterite soil
- DArid soil
Explanation
Arid soils are saline in nature, and in some areas the salt content is so high that common salt is obtained by evaporating the saline water — as in parts of Rajasthan. Peaty, alluvial and laterite soils do not have this characteristic. Hence arid soil is the correct answer.
