Which outcome results when intense eluviation impacts pedogenesis within soils?

A)Increased nutrient availability for plant uptake
B)Enhanced translocation of clay particles downwards
C)Accelerated rate of soil organic matter
D)Greater mineral weathering close to surface

💡 Explanation

Eluviation is the transport of soil material; accelerated eluviation affects pedogenesis by *illuviation*, the deposition of leached material. Translocation rates increase because suspended clay travels downwards, therefore option B is correct, rather than other processes close to the surface that are associated with weathering.
