Detailed Solution

Wheat is associated with alluvial soil.
Alluvial soil is most suited for wheat cultivation among the given options. Alluvial soil is the most important soil in India, widely spread throughout the country due to its fertility. This soil is made up of deposits from the three rivers systems-The Ganga, the Indus, and the Brahmaputra. It consists of sand, silt, and clay. According to the age of alluvial soil, it is classified as old alluvial, Bangar, and new alluvial soil, Khadar. Khadar is more fertile than the Bangar as it mostly contains kanker nodules.
