• A. by the action of flowing water.
• B. by the consistent action of wind flow from the same direction.
• C. due to action of glacier drift.
• D. by the action of gravitational forces.

Hint:

For identifying soil deposit types, remember: - Talus: Gravitational action. - Alluvial soil: Water action. - Aeolian deposits: Wind action.

The Correct Option is D

Talus is an accumulation of broken rock fragments found at the base of cliffs or steep slopes. It forms primarily due to gravity causing rocks to fall and pile up.
