Answer: D
Most of the details of the present topography belong to the Cenozoic era. The Cenozoic, the most recent era, saw the Himalayan and Alpine mountain building reach its peak, the carving of river valleys and the glaciation of the Pleistocene, so the landforms we see today (young fold mountains, present drainage, glacial and fluvial features) are mostly products of it.
The Pre-Cambrian and Paleozoic eras are far older, and their surfaces have been eroded, buried or reworked many times. The Mesozoic is also earlier, so its features survive mainly as the rock structure beneath the Cenozoic surface rather than as present topography.
