Solution

The correct option is B Sand Dunes
When the desert winds blow, they carry a lot of sand all around. When the wind stops blowing, the sand falls and gets deposited. These deposits look like little hills or mounds. These little hills are sand dunes. Sand dunes are usually temporary structures as the next gust of wind can shift them to another place.
