Correct Option: B
Laterite soil becomes less fertile due to the intense leaching caused by tropical rains.
Leaching is the process where minerals are washed out of the soil by water, and in tropical regions with heavy rainfall, it can lead to the depletion of nutrients in the laterite soil, making it less fertile.
