Correct option is D
(A) Primärrumpf - (III) W. Penck: Walther Penck developed the concept of the Primärrumpf, which refers to the initial, relatively undissected land surface before significant erosion.
(B) Pediplain - (I) L.C. King: Lester King introduced the concept of pediplanation, which involves the formation of extensive, gently sloping plains (pediplains) through the coalescence of pediments.
(C) Panplane - (IV) C.H. Crickmay: C.H. Crickmay used the term "panplane" to describe a nearly featureless, extensive plain formed by prolonged erosion. It's similar in some ways to a peneplain but Crickmay's concept had some key differences.
(D) Peneplain - (II) W.M. Davis: William Morris Davis is associated with the concept of the peneplain, a gently undulating, almost featureless plain that represents the final stage of fluvial erosion in a humid temperate climate.
Information Booster:
- Primarrumpf (W. Penck): Represents an initial landform shaped by tectonic uplift and erosion.
- Pediplain (L.C. King): Found in arid regions, formed by the coalescence of pediments.
- Panplane (C. H. Crickmay): Describes a broad, nearly level plain resulting from erosion.
- Peneplain (W. M. Davis): Represents a landform in the last stage of fluvial erosion, nearly level with residual hills.
