Explanation:

The rock formation in the image is a mushroom - shaped rock, also known as a pedestal rock. This type of rock formation is typically created by wind - blown sand (abrasion). Wind - blown sand acts as a natural abrasive. Over millions of years, the sand particles erode the rock. The base of the rock is eroded more because the sand is carried closer to the ground by the wind. Glaciers (Option A) create different landforms like U - shaped valleys. Rivers (Option B) create features like river valleys, canyons. Volcanoes (Option D) create volcanic landforms like lava domes, volcanic craters.

Answer:

C. Windblown sand carving large rocks
