Which outcome results from limited sediment supply during aeolian deflation?

A)Formation of desert pavement (reg)
B)Development of transverse dune fields
C)Extensive loess deposit accretion
D)Accelerated ventifact weathering rate

💡 Explanation

A desert pavement forms because deflation removes fine sediments, leaving larger rocks; this process of selective erosion results in reg, rather than loess deposition which requires abundant fine-grained material, therefore ventifact formation and dunes are not dominant.
