    Arete

    B.

    Col

    C.

    Cirque

    D.

    Spur

    Correct option is C


    Introduction
    A Cirque (also known as a corrie or cwm) is a bowl-shaped depression, often with a steep headwall and a gently sloping floor, carved by glacial erosion. Due to its distinctive shape—a deep, rounded hollow with steep sides and a scooped-out floor—it is popularly described as resembling a huge amphitheater or an arm chair.
