Which phrase describes a plateau?

Answer
A
low elevation
B
surface cut by streams
C
rounded or sharp peaks
D
gradual slopes on all sides

Explanation

A plateau is a broad, elevated area of relatively flat land. Streams can cut channels and valleys into its surface, so “surface cut by streams” is the best description. Low elevation and rounded or sharp peaks describe other landforms, while gradual slopes on all sides describe a different kind of landform.
