Answer 1

The correct option is C Crater moraine.

A mass of rocks and other sediments carried down and deposited by a glacier, typically as ridges at its edge or extremity is called a morain.

Different types of moraine:

• Terminal moraines are found at the terminus or the furthest (end) point reached by a glacier.
• Lateral moraines are found deposited along the sides of the glacier.
• Medial moraines are found at the junction between two glaciers.
• Ground moraines are disorganized piles of rocks of various shapes, sizes and of differing rock types.
