The correct statement is: They both contain organic material.

The O horizon (organic horizon) is primarily composed of organic matter, such as decomposed leaves and plant material, while the A horizon (topsoil) also contains organic material mixed with minerals. The other statements are not accurate regarding the characteristics or positions of the O and A horizons in relation to the soil profile.
