A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I

D.

A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

Correct option is A

  1. Turbidity Current – W.M. Davis (A-I) 

    • Turbidity currents are underwater flows of sediment-laden water that move downslope due to gravity.
    • W.M. Davis, known for his geomorphological contributions, studied such processes in coastal and marine environments.
  2. Submarine Density Current – Holimann (B-III) 

    • Submarine density currents occur due to variations in water density, driven by temperature and salinity differences.
    • Holimann contributed significantly to understanding these currents and their role in underwater sediment transport.
  3. Subaerial Erosion – J.D. Dana (C-IV) 

    • Subaerial erosion refers to landform changes due to weathering, water flow, and wind erosion.
    • J.D. Dana contributed to the study of continental and coastal landform evolution.
  4. Diastrophic Theory – Lawson (D-II) 

    • Diastrophism refers to deformation of the Earth's crust, including folding, faulting, and mountain building.
    • Lawson studied crustal movements and their impact on geological structures.

Thus, the correct matching is:
A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II
