Which process involves wind moving loose sediment?

Answer
A
abrasion
B
deflation
C
impact
D

Explanation

Deflation is the process in which wind lifts and carries away loose sediment from the ground. Abrasion happens when windblown particles wear down rock surfaces, while impact and plucking are not the term for wind removing loose sediment. Therefore, the correct choice is deflation.
