Detailed Solution

The A-horizon of the soil is most fertile.
Horizons are the layer within the soil profile that is parallel to the soil surface. There are various horizons on the soil. The horizon which is more advantageous for the growth of roots and plants is Horizon-A and Horizon-B because they are rich in water, minerals and humus.  Horizon-C is the layer of soil which is far away from containing any organic matter, and it is made up of broken bedrock. All the geological material present in this zone is cemented.  A-horizon is rich in minerals, and it is suitable for plants to grow in, hence it is the most fertile.
