The answer is C. The wind removes surface particles, resulting in lower land surface.

Deflation is the process of lifting and moving of tiny particles of soil or sand, brought about by the wind. It can also be associated with soil erosion. This is a common phenomenon in deserts and sand dune areas near the coast.
