  • A.Marine Erosion
  • B.Wind Erosion
  • C.River Erosion
  • D.Glacial Erosion

Answer: C

The normal cycle of erosion is associated with river erosion.

W. M. Davis described the 'normal' or fluvial cycle, in which a land mass raised above base level is cut by running water through the stages of youth, maturity and old age until it is reduced to a peneplain. Davis treated the work of rivers as the normal process in humid regions. Marine, wind (arid) and glacial erosion are treated as special cycles with their own landforms, which is why they are called modifications of the normal cycle rather than the normal cycle itself.
