Answer:

(2) a drumlin

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The word drumlin is taken the form an Irish word droimnín, recorded in 1833, its is a classical elongated hill and is composed of the glaciers depositional features and has unconsolidated matters formed by continuous and reverse depositions by the glaciers.
  • Also called as baskets of egg topography. They typically distance ranges from 1 to 2 km and thus are called primary glacial till. They have clay, silt, sand, gravel and the boulders that fall from the glaciers and get deposited in various proportions.

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 2. An elongated hill that is composed of unsorted sediments deposited by a glacier is called a drumlin. These occur widely within the moulded and streamlined scenery of the central lowlands of Scotland.
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
