Solution
The correct option is C denudation
Denudation is the long-term sum
of processes that cause the wearing away of the Earth’s surface by moving
water, ice, wind and waves, leading to a reduction in elevation and relief of
landforms and landscapes. Endogenous processes such as volcanoes, earthquakes,
and plate tectonics uplift and expose continental crust to the exogenous
processes of weathering, erosion, and mass wasting.
