Desert pavement or commonly called stone or stony pavement is a type of desert surface that is covered with pebbles and stone tight and intertwined. Many of these layers form a type of pavement known as mosaic. When the particles begin to be stacked between different natural agents such as rain, gravity and animals compact the layers and generates a layer that allows the pavement not to erode. Basically runoff and deflation eliminate silt and clay, leaving thicker particles behind.
The correct answer is A.
