The correct statement is:

There is a thin layer of topsoil in tropical rain forests.

Tropical rainforests often have a relatively thin layer of topsoil due to the high rate of decomposition and nutrient uptake by plants, leading to the rapid recycling of organic material. The other statements regarding humus or thick layers of topsoil in deserts are incorrect.
