While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

* In geology, an Aeolian landform is one that has been created by the wind.
* In Greek mythology, Aeolus is the keeper of the winds.
* Aeolian landforms are created when the wind erodes, transports, or deposits material.
* A mushroom rock is a rock formation in which the top is wider than the base.
* A mushroom rock can be formed when the wind erodes the base and the top at different rates.

The student wants to provide an explanation and an example of Aeolian landforms. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Difficulty: Medium
A: 

Aeolian landforms are created by different wind-based processes; for example, some are created by wind erosion.

B: 

Aeolian landforms--landforms created by the wind--include the mushroom rock, a rock formation in which the wind erodes the base of the rock faster than the top.

C: 

Erosion, transportation, and deposition are three examples of how the wind can create Aeolian landforms and mushroom rocks.

D: 

A mushroom rock is a rock formation that owes its shape to the wind, a natural force associated with Aeolus in Greek mythology.
