Answer:

Option (C)

Option (E)

Option (F)

Step-by-step explanation:

Glaciers in a particular area forms when the temperature drops down to its freezing point. Also at the same time, the altitude areas like the mountains and the hills also accumulates ice under certain temperature conditions.

Glaciation in Alaska was taken place in the last ice age known as the Pleistocene ice age, during which most of the places were covered with ice but from the recent studies, it has been observed that the glaciers have melted and is now about to be extinct.

Alaska glaciation had taken place in its geological past due to its interaction between the geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere.

Geosphere refers to all the region that makes up the entire earth.

The atmosphere refers to the envelope of variable gases that surrounds the earth.

Hydrosphere includes all the water bodies present on earth.

Thus, the correct options are given above.
