• B. 2 only
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The correct option is D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation:

• Statement 1 is correct: In landslides, the movement of the mass of the earth is quick and sudden and this is so because of the very high slope and high water content. One can observe landslides with his/her naked eyes.
• Statement 2 is correct: In creep, the movement of the mass of the earth is very slow which one can observe while it is happening. This is so because of the lesser slope as well as the lesser water content in the soil.
