A. Beach erosion caused by high tides
B. An avalanche caused by skiers
C. The lowering of land surface caused by wind
D. High tides caused by full moons



Answer :

C. The lowering of land surface caused by wind

Deflation is wind activity which also causes rock erosion or transports sand and dirt.

Deflation is also known as aeolian processes and aeolus was a Greek god of wind. So it's wind related. Maybe this will help you memorize it. At least thats how i memorized it.
