Solution

The correct options are
B Flat surface
C Humid region
D Rainfall conditions
Due to gravity huge volumes of rocks and weathered fragments move down the slopes of land. These movements are either sudden or slow, depending on the factors such as the steepness of the slope, weight and type of the rocks and fragments, and how much rainfall a region receives.
