Clay accumulation increases markedly when which pedogenesis mechanism occurs?

A)Illuviation from upper soil horizons
B)Erosion due to raindrop impact
C)Arid regosol with limited development
D)Cryoturbation in periglacial environments

💡 Explanation

Illuviation is deposition of soil material that is leached from upper soil horizons; clay accumulates because smaller clay particles are transported downward in soil profiles, therefore increasing clay percentages rather than sand and silt.
