Answer:

O B. Calving

Step-by-step explanation:

The breaking of ice chunks off the edge of a glacier is known as ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving. It is a type of ice ablation or disturbance. A glacier, iceberg, ice front, ice shelf, or crevasse suddenly releases and breaks away from a mass of ice.
