What process created the sand dune?

Answer
A
abrasion
B
deflation
C
weathering
D
compaction

Explanation

Deflation is the process in which wind removes loose particles from the ground, leaving sand to accumulate in dunes. Abrasion wears down surfaces as wind-blown particles scrape them, while weathering breaks rock down and compaction presses sediment together. Therefore, deflation created the sand dune.
