A larger percentage of tropical soils tends to be acidic because they **lose lime and potash from the top soil through rain action**. So, the correct answer is D. Lose lime and potash from the top soil through rain action. This is due to a process called leaching, where heavy rainfall washes away soluble nutrients from the soil, leaving it nutrient-poor and acidic. This is a common characteristic of tropical soils, which are often exposed to high levels of rainfall..
