The correct answer is: "B - horizons or "C-horizons" .

__________________________________________________

→ primarily "B-horizons"

__________________________________________________

If there are answer choices, and there is an answer choice of:

"B-horizons or C-horizons" ; then choose this.

__________________________________________________

If there are answer choices of: "select all that apply" :

then select both: "B-horizons" ; and: "C-horizons" .

__________________________________________________

If there is an answer choice that incorporates:

"Both: "B-horizons" and "C-horizons" are correct" ;'

then choose that one.

__________________________________________________

If you can only choose one, then choose: " B-horizons " .

__________________________________________________

Note that: "B-horizons" and "C-horizons" do not necessary refer to the answer choice, per se .

Rather, as per the U.S.A. soil classification systems,

soil horizons, from the top to the bottom, are generally classfied as:

____________________________________________

O-horizon (top soil)

____________________________________________

A- horizon

____________________________________________

E-horizon (included in some cases).

____________________________________________

B- horizon (lots of nutrients).

____________________________________________

C horizon (may be rocky or sandy).

Hope this helps!

Best wishes!
