c. a process in which waves break down the sand in beaches
d. a process of the water cycles where rain falls on earth e. a process in which material is laid down or deposited

Option (E)

Explanation:

The deposition is defined as a process by which the weathered and eroded materials are allowed to settle down or laid down in a particular area. This could be the deposition of sediments (broken rock fragments), minerals and other particles.

The deposition of sediments helps in the formation of sedimentary types of rocks, where the rock fragments are broken down and carried away from the source area with the help of agents such as wind, water and ice. These sediments eventually deposit and undergo compaction and lithification, and forms sedimentary rocks, For example, sandstone, limestone, and shale.

Thus, the correct answer is option (E).
