Which topographic outcome becomes pronounced after glacial retreat around cirques?

A)Exaggerated radial drainage patterns
B)Extensive braided stream development
C)Formation of hanging valleys only
D)Uniform sediment sorting across terrain

💡 Explanation

Exaggerated radial drainage emerges; because glaciers carve cirques, they steepen slopes adjacent to them. This causes increased erosion via overland flow due to heightened elevation gradients activating fluvial dissection, rather than braided streams dependent on sediment load.
