Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Erosion is when rock is broken or loosed by wind, water, or other means

Creep is the slow downslope movement of particles that occurs on every slope covered with loose, weathered material.

Slump is a form of mass wasting that occurs when a coherent mass of loosely consolidated materials or a rock layer moves a short distance down a slope.

Deposition is a process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.
