B Correct answer
Explanation

A tarn is a mountain lake or pool formed in a cirque excavated by a glacier. These are typically found in corries (cirques) carved by glacial erosion and are often deep and clear. In contrast, oxbow lakes are formed by river meanders, yardangs are wind-eroded rock formations, and ridges are linear elevated landforms not specifically created by glaciers.
