Answer 2

The farmer was looking at the A-Horizon layer of the soil. (Option c)

• A-Horizon layer of the soil is commonly known as the topsoil.
• This is the part of the soil that is rich in organic matter and minerals.
• This layer provides favorable living conditions for organisms like earthworms, beetles, rodents, moles, etc.
• Oxygen and water are essential for organisms to thrive in soil.
• A-horizon layer of the soil has good aeration and hence has an adequate supply of oxygen essential for the survival of soil organisms.
• They also have good amounts of moisture.
• This soil layer also provides protection from predators and drastic weather changes.
