On a young surface, one would expect not to find impact craters. This is best represented by option D.

Impact craters typically are the result of past geologic activity, and having little to no impact craters suggests that the planet is relatively young (Venus, for example). Many of the impact craters that once were there, if any, were potentially erased by resurfacing, a process that shapes the entire planet. Few impact craters also suggests there was little planetary change as a result of the planet’s recent development.
