- AOnly 1
- B1 and 2
- C2 and 3
- D1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Landforms result from the interplay of the material acted upon and the processes acting on it. Differences in crustal type and structure (1), differences in the land-forming processes themselves (2), and differential rates of those processes from place to place (3) all shape the observed landforms. Hence all three statements are correct.
