Correct Answer

Explanation

Black soil, also known as Regur soil, is ideal for cotton cultivation due to its high moisture retention capacity and richness in calcium carbonate, magnesium, and potash. Found primarily in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh, black soil supports crops like cotton, sugarcane, and groundnut. Its clayey texture and nutrient content make it suitable for agriculture in semi-arid regions.
