Explanation
A drumlin is a streamlined, elongated hill moulded out of glacial drift (till) beneath an ice sheet on till plains, with its long axis parallel to the direction of ice flow, blunt at the stoss end and tapered at the lee end. It is a glacial landform, not a central European city, a river, or a Tibetan road. Hence option A.
