The correct answer is B. An arid region that experienced mostly uplifting forces.

Step-by-step explanation

According to the graph, it can be seen that 25 million years ago the illustrated area was arid and the earth's crust had a fracture that eroded to form a table 15 million years ago as shown in the second illustration. Later, it is shown how the erosion continued to act on this area until creating different plateaus and a plain in the present time. The key to understanding these illustrations are the layers of the earth's crust that are shown because it shows how some layers are disappearing or reducing their area while the lower layers are being exposed. Therefore, the correct answer is B. An arid region that experienced mostly uplifting forces.
