Answer:

Parabolic dunes

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabolic dune is a U-shaped mound of sand. The tips point upwind because they are anchored by vegetation.

A is wrong. The tips of a barchan dune point downwind

C is wrong. A longitudinal dune is parallel to the prevailing wind.

D is wrong. The ridge of a transverse dune is perpendicular to the prevailing wind.
