Which of the following statements about topsoil is false?

Answer
A
Topsoil forms very slowly.
B
Topsoil is full of nutrients and good for farming.
C
Topsoil can be found only on farmland.
D

Explanation

Topsoil forms slowly, contains nutrients that support plant growth, and can be eroded faster by human activities such as deforestation or poor farming practices. It is not found only on farmland; topsoil also occurs in forests, grasslands, and other landscapes. Therefore, “Topsoil can be found only on farmland” is false.
