C Correct answer
Explanation

Playas are the most common desert landform - flat, dust-filled basins formed by evaporated lakes in arid regions. While sand dunes (barchans, seifs) are iconic, they cover smaller areas. Pediments are concave surfaces at mountain bases, pediplains are broader erosional surfaces. Playas dominate deserts like the Great Basin (USA) and Rajasthan (India), forming through repeated wet-dry cycles where water accumulates temporarily then evaporates completely.
