Answer:

B. Molasse

Step-by-step explanation:

The accumulation of terrestrial and freshwater deposits produced by alluvial fans, rivers and lakes in forest basins is referred to as Molasse. A molasse is an agglomerate of fragments of sandstone, schists and other elements that are usually formed in places with mountain ranges. These molasses are represented as marine deposits of very shallow, almost flat depth.
