D
building up of landforms
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Constructive forces are the forces that tend to build up new landforms on the Earth’s surface. These forces also help to add new features to the landmasses that are already present on the earth. The constructive forces are accountable to cause structural changes to the earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Landforms. Back to Landforms. Landforms are the result of a combination of constructive and destructive forces. Constructive forces include crustal deformation, volcanic eruption, and deposition of sediment, while destructive forces include weathering and erosion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Constructive processes like the the deposition of sediment and extrusion of lava build landforms by adding material at the surface. Destructive processes like weathering and erosion and explosive volcanism shape the surface by removing material.

Detailed explanation-4: -landforms that result from both constructive and destructive forces. Constructive *Rivers carrying sediments toward the ocean; slowing & dropping sediment can form a delta. *A volcano slowly erupting lava over time can form a volcanic mountain.

Detailed explanation-5: -Constructive Earth processes are changes that add to the surface of the Earth, and some of them take millions of years to occur. The Hawaiian Islands are a great example of a slow constructive change. These islands have formed over millions of years due to a hot spot volcano.
