The Answer is option (B) C

Step-by-step explanation:

An arête is a derived from a french word which means "ridge".It can be defined as a narrow ridge of rock that seperates the heads of opposing valleys known as cirques

An example of arête formation is a pyramidal peak called the Matterhorn. Which is located in the Alps on the border of Switzerland and Italy.
