Correct option is B
The correct answer is: (b), Eolian cycle
Eolian cycle: The eolian cycle, also known as the wind erosion cycle, is a geomorphic process driven by the action of wind on the Earth's surface. It describes the sequence of erosion, transportation, and deposition of sediments by wind, leading to the formation of distinctive landforms in arid and semi-arid regions.
Inselberg:
Inselberg are formed due to twin processes of scarp retreat and pedimentation over coarse grained igneous rocks. These are residual hills and mounds of relatively resistant rocks in the arid regions.
Pediplains:
Pediplains are high-relief structures in deserts that have been eroded by the wind into low, featureless plains.

Marine cycle: The most powerful agents of marine erosion are waves which originate due to the sweeping of winds over the water surface, setting up a series of undulating swells surging forward.
On approaching shallow water near the shores, their speed is reduced and the waves are curved and refracted against the alignment of the coast.
The shallow water when is less than the height of the waves, check their forward movement, the wave crest curl over and breaks into shore.
Water that finally rushes up the beach and hurls rock debris against the land is called swash, with the water that retreats or is sucked back is called backwash.
Glacial cycle: Glaciers are one of the most potent agents shaping the landscape. As glaciers flow downhill from mountains to the lowlands, they erode, transport, and deposit materials, forming different glacial landforms.
Karst cycle: The Karst cycle, also known as the Karst geomorphic cycle, refers to the distinctive landscape evolution process associated with karst topography. Karst landscapes are characterized by unique landforms and features formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum by natural processes, particularly the chemical action of water.
