Solution
The correct option is C glacier
A glacier is a large area of thick ice that remains frozen from one year to the next.
Snow crystals accumulate year by year in areas where the temperatures never become high enough to completely melt the snow and ice.
When such layers of ice pile up in a low lying area, they become huge in size. It flows slowly over the land. This is called a glacier.
