Which profile change accelerates when pedogenesis reaches stasis?

A)Reduced organic matter accumulation rate
B)Enhanced translocation of clay minerals
C)Increased eluviation caused by weathering
D)Progressive soil horizon homogenization rate

💡 Explanation

Pedogenesis leads to soil horizons; however at stasis, the processes become uniform, and bioturbation dominates. Consequently, horizon definition decreases because homogenization occurs more than differentiation; therefore the layers blur, masking pedogenetic processes, rather than becoming more layered.
