Correct answer: B). Abrasion

Wind erosion takes place when the wind is strong enough to break out the plants and other materials. It takes place mostly on the large and sandy surfaces where the wind velocity is very high.

Due to the wind abrasion, small particles are carried out by the wind and hit the rock surface, which causes abrasion of the rock. It may create rock bridges or rock windows.
