Solution
The correct option is D Arête
Depositional landforms.
1. Esker: Built up bed of a subglacial stream.
2,. Kame: Irregularly shaped mound.
3. Moraine: Feature can be terminal (at the end of a glacier), lateral (along the sides of a glacier), or medial (formed by the emerger of lateral moraines from contributary glaciers).
4. Outwash fan: Braided stream flowing from the front end of a glacier.
Erosional landforms
Arête: is spiky high land between two glaciers, if the glacial action erodes through, a spillway (or col) forms.
