B	Erosion
C	Denudation
D	Weathering

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Denudation is the geological processes in which moving water, ice, wind, and waves erode the Earth’s surface, leading to a reduction in elevation and in relief of landforms and landscapes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is B erosion. Weathering is the breakup of rocks on the Earth’s surface. Erosion refers to the phenomenon of gradual wearing away of the landscape by natural agents like water, wind and ice.
