​The following table presents soil formation processes (Column X) and climatic conditions in which they occur (Column Y).​

​Which one of the following options represents all correct matches between Column X and Column Y?​

Correct option is D

EXPLANATION-

A. Gleization  - II. High rainfall or low-lying areas associated with poor drainage.

Gleization occurs in waterlogged soils with poor drainage, often in high rainfall or low-lying areas where water accumulates, leading to reduced oxygen levels. 

B. Laterization  -   III. Humid environments in the tropical and subtropical regions.

Laterization involves intense weathering and leaching in hot, humid climates, typical of tropical and subtropical regions. 

C. Podzolization   - IV. Cool, moist climates of the mid-latitude regions

Podzolization occurs in cool, moist environments, often in mid-latitude regions, where leaching creates distinct soil layers. 

So, the correct option is (d)  - A-(II) , B-(III), C-(IV)
