Answer: Option (4)

Explanation: Mass wasting refers to the large scale motion of loose sediments or particles that undergoes weathering and falls down due to the action of gravity. It is also commonly known as the mass movement.

Weathering generally takes place here but gravity plays the important role in transporting materials down the slope. Some of the types of mass wasting are as follows-

  • Sliding
  • creep
  • fall
  • slump

and so on.
