Solution

The correct option is B Epiorogenic movement
The word Epeirogenetic consists of two words viz, 'epiros' means continent and 'genesis' means origin. So eperiogenetic movement gives rise to the continent. Epeirogenetic movement causes upliftment and subsidence of continental masses through upward and downward movements respectively. Both, the movements are vertical movement.
