Which weathering product accumulates during podzolization in boreal forests?

A)Sesquioxides depleted mineral horizons
B)Calcium-rich carbonate mineral deposits
C)Basalt rock exhibiting columnar jointing
D)Clay-rich aggregates demonstrating shrink-swell

💡 Explanation

Sesquioxides depleted mineral horizons accumulate, caused by intense organic acid leaching. Chelated iron and aluminum oxides are removed during podzolization from upper layers via chelation, because organic acids effectively mobilize them downward; therefore, those horizons form, rather than carbonates being deposited or clay aggregating.
