Solution

The correct option is B Plateaus

Plateau is a region of highland composed of flat terrain, elevated on at least one side sharply above the surrounding area. Deep hills also have one or two sides. A variety of processes, including upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, and erosion by water and glaciers, may create plateaus. Plateaus are known as intermontane, piedmont, or continental according to their local climate. There may be a small flat top on a few plateaus, while others have large ones.

The correct answer is B .
