C)multiple caliche horizons
D)buried humus layers

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A, E, B, and C soil horizons represent different stages of soil development and weathering in soil profiles such as luvisol, podsol, or chernozem. The A horizon is the topmost layer, which is rich in organic matter and often referred to as the topsoil. The E horizon is a subsurface horizon characterized by leaching of minerals and organic matter. The B horizon is a subsurface layer that accumulates clay, minerals, and organic matter through weathering, and the C horizon is a layer of unconsolidated parent material. Therefore, A, E, B, and C soil horizons in these soils represent an in situ response to an extended period of weathering.
