Which landscape outcome results when wind-driven deflation surpasses supply?

A)Formation of a desert pavement
B)Stabilization of parabolic dunes
C)Deposition of loess sediments
D)Increased ventifact abrasion rates

💡 Explanation

Desert pavement forms from eolian deflation preferentially removing fine particles, leaving larger rocks behind; because coarse sediments armor the surface, soil loss decreases, therefore desert pavement results rather than enhanced dune movement, which requires loose sand.
