The given question is asking to match the soil types (List I) with their salient characteristics (List II) and select the correct answer.

List I:

A. Entisols

B. Inceptisols

C. Histosols

D. Oxisols

List II:

1. Soils having weakly or quickly developed horizons

2. Weakly developed soils with no horizons

3. These soils are very old and highly weathered

4. These soils have very high quantity of organic matter in the upper layers

The correct answer is option 1, which matches the soil types and their salient characteristics as follows:

A. Entisols - 2

B. Inceptisols - 1

C. Histosols - 4

D. Oxisols - 3

Entisols are weakly developed soils with no horizons.

Inceptisols are soils having weakly or quickly developed horizons.

Histosols are soils with a very high quantity of organic matter in the upper layers.

Oxisols are very old and highly weathered soils.

Therefore, the correct match is option 1.
