Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Explanation: Transported soils are those moved from their original place by agents of erosion like water, wind, or glaciers. Because they are deposited sediments, they do not have a well-defined soil profile, unlike residual soils formed in situ. Hence, transported soils lack a clear, layered profile due to their origin and mode of formation by transportation and deposition of materials.
