The correct answer is - D. Deposition.


Deposition is the process when agents are carried from one place to another. This is a consequence of multiple factors, it can be the wind, water, earthquakes, that can be the cause of this process, each of them working in their own specific way, the wind with transporting little particles, the water with making streams through which transports agents in a quick manner and of bigger size, and the earthquakes with their enormous power can cause huge blocks of rocks and land to be transported from one place to another in just few seconds. For this process to be able to take place there has to be a certain angle of fall of the ground.
