Which horizon ordering indicates stalled pedogenesis under permafrost?

💡 Explanation

A fibric horizon over saturated E indicates permafrost cryoturbation because freeze-thaw inhibits decomposition and mixes undifferentiated material. Therefore the soil profile remains truncated and immature rather than developing distinct Bw horizons from weathering.
