Which horizon change occurs when intense rainfall enhances leaching?

A)Reduced A horizon organic content
B)Increased R horizon parent material
C)Expanded B horizon clay accumulation
D)Thickened O horizon surface litter

💡 Explanation

Enhanced rainfall causes increased mobilization of humus within the A horizon, reducing organic content because eluviation preferentially removes it rather than depositing it; therefore, the A horizon loses organic matter, rather than its enrichment, or impacts to zones below it.
