Detailed Solution

The correct option for the above question is 2nd, as black soil is typical in the Deccan trap region. Regur Soil or Black soil runs the mill of the Deccan trap locale spread over the northwest Deccan plateau and is composed of magma streams. Regur soil or black soil is excellent for developing cotton and is known as black cotton soil. The soil is wealthy in soil supplements, for example, magnesium, calcium carbonate, potash, and lime. The black soils are, for the most part, poor in phosphoric items. The black or regur soils are clayey, notable for their ability to hold dampness. They enlarge and become tacky when wet and psychological when dried. Thus, during the dry season, this soil grows wide breaks.
Consequently, there happens a sort of 'self furrowing'. The shade of the soil goes from deep black to dark. Black soils are subsidiaries of trap magma and are spread generally across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh on the Deccan and Malwa plateau.
