Solution

The correct option is D Exogenetic
The changes on the Earth's surface are caused by two main forces. These forces can originate in the interior of the Earth or on the surface of the Earth. The forces that originate in the interior of the Earth are known as endogenetic forces. The forces that work on the surface of the Earth are known as exogenetic forces. Both these processes cause the formation and deformation of Earth's landforms. They are collectively called geomorphic processes.
