Answer:

D. Granite

Granite would likely create the strongest and most stable slope.

Explanation:

The material strength on slopes may vary broadly. When we consider the material's strength ignoring the issues like fracture then the crystalline rocks such as granite, basalt, etc., are very strong. Sedimentary rocks like dolostone, most sand stones and some limestone are stronger than unconsolidated sediments and mud stones are quite weak.

The strength of unconsolidated sediments are usually lesser than the sedimentary rocks, as they have not been compressed and cemented with overlapping materials which gives strength to it.

Rzqust [24]

The correct answer is - A. Mountains in Iraq and Oman.

The pressure created from the Arabian Plate pushing towards the Eurasian Plate has lifted the terrain at some parts, most notably at the territory of Iraq and Oman. The most noticeable mountains in here are the Zagros Mountains in Iraq. These mountains are of great significance for the Kurdish population that considers them as sacred mountains. The pressure also affects the terrain in Iran where the Iranian Plateau is created.
