Which umbrella-like desert rock forms due to greater erosion at the lower part?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mushroom rock
A mushroom rock, also called a pedestal rock, develops when wind-driven sand causes stronger abrasion near the ground than higher up. The lower part is narrowed, leaving a broader cap and an umbrella-like profile; therefore option D is correct. A drumlin and tarn are glacial features, while an oxbow lake is formed from a cut-off river meander.
