Answer 1

The correct option is C 2 and 3 only

Explanation:

• Stalactites are deposition landforms formed under the influence of underground water in Karst topography and are not a landform formed by the glaciers.
• Sinkholes are the erosional landforms formed in the karst topography.
• Eskers are ridges made of sands and gravels, deposited by glacial meltwater flowing through tunnels within and underneath glaciers, or through meltwater channels on top of glaciers. As the ice retreats, the sediments are left behind as a ridge in the landscape.
• Drumlins are elongated, teardrop-shaped hills of rock, sand, and gravel that formed under moving glacier ice.
