Which outcome arises when intense chemical weathering accelerates leaching in well-drained soil?

A)Formation of laterite soil horizons
B)Accumulation of humus-rich topsoil
C)Deposition of expansive clay minerals
D)Development of thick caliche layers

💡 Explanation

Intense chemical weathering enhances leaching due to high water flow removing silica, creating laterite horizons because sesquioxides concentrate. The answer is soil horizons; therefore, laterization prevails, rather than humus or clay accumulations, which result from less intense conditions.
