The correct answer is option 4: Black soil.

Black soil, also known as regur soil or black cotton soil, is a type of soil that is commonly found in certain regions of India. It is known for its high fertility and its ability to retain moisture, making it suitable for agriculture.

In the given map, the shaded area represents the distribution of black soil. This means that the regions shaded in the map are the areas where black soil is predominantly found. These regions are typically characterized by a high concentration of organic matter, clay, and minerals, which contribute to the dark color and fertility of the soil.

Black soil is particularly suitable for growing crops such as cotton, wheat, and sugarcane, as it has good moisture-retention properties and a high nutrient content. It is also known for its ability to swell when wet and shrink when dry, which can affect the stability of structures built on it.

Overall, the shaded area on the map indicates the geographical extent of black soil distribution in the given region.
