Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

O, A, E, B, C, and R. (Note, the text lists four main horizons, then describes the six horizons, which other texts also call master horizons).
The O horizon is high in organic matter content, derived from litter that is transformed into humus. It is 20-30 organic matter and retains water and nutrients.
The A horizon, often called topsoil, contains humus and clay particles. This horizon provides an essential chemical link between soil nutrients and plants.
The E horizon is a zone of eluviation, where various materials are leached to the horizon below. It is composed mainly of coarse sand, silt, and leaching resistant minerals.
The B horizon is a zone of illuviation where the translocated minerals and other matter leached from the E horizon accumulate.
The C horizon is a zone of regolith, i.e. weathered bedrock and parent material.
The R horizon consists of unconsolidated rock material or consolidated bedrock.
