Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Anthropogenic soils
Anthropogenic soils are soils formed or strongly modified by human activity, as in urban and suburban areas. "Pedological" refers to soil science in general, "petrographical" to the description of rocks, and hematite is an iron-oxide mineral, so none of these names the human-influenced soil type.
