Solution

The correct option is A The soil of rainforest is deficient in nutrients
The soils of the tropical rain forest are typically nutrient-poor; all of the nutrients are held in the living organisms. Any nutrients in the soil would be swiftly leached away by the heavy rainfall. Thats why, it does not regenerate quickly as compared to a tropical deciduous forest.
