From the given options, Punjab does not have black soil. Black soil is dark in colour and is also known as regur soil, found in the plateau covers of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, and Malwa. Black soil is mostly found in the southern states of India, such as Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. Black soil is the most suitable for the plantation of cotton, also known as black cotton soil, as it is made up of extremely fine clayey material well-known for its capacity to hold moisture. This soil contains calcium carbonate, magnesium, potash, and lime. This soil also develops deep cracks during hot weather conditions that help with proper aeration of the soil.
