    Question

    The cause of formation of salt- affected soils,

    consisting of saline and alkaline soils is
    A inundation of tidal water in coastal areas Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B deposition of salts soil on surface through capillaries as a result of over-irrigation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both (A) and (B) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The formation of salt-affected soils, consisting of saline and alkaline soils, can be attributed to both of the following factors: (A)   Inundation of tidal water in coastal areas can lead to the intrusion of saltwater into the soil, resulting in saline soils. (B)   Deposition of salts on the soil surface through capillaries as a result of over-irrigation can cause the accumulation of salts, leading to both saline and alkaline conditions in the soil.
