Select the correct answer from the codes given below:

Question

Inselbergs: Yes, these are isolated residual hills that rise abruptly from gently sloping ground or lowlands. They are formed by erosion so they are erosional landforms.
Loess: No, loess is an aeolian sediment formed by accumulation of wind-blown silt. So it is a depositional landform, not an erosional one.
Zeugen: Yes, these are steplike fault-block mountains that remain after extensive erosion. So they are formed by erosion and are erosional landforms.
Buttes: Yes, these are flat-topped hills with steep sides formed by erosion. So they are erosional landforms.
