    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Moon shaped sand-dunes, formed by wind action are called Barkhans. Barkhans are sickle-shaped and produced by wind action blowing from one direction. Barkhans can also be found on larger rocks and shrubs which act as anchors that hold the central area in place while the tips are blown away by the wind.
