B Correct answer
Explanation

W.M. Davis developed the cycle of erosion concept and is most famously associated with the peneplain concept - a nearly level plain representing the final stage of erosion. L.C. King proposed the pediplain concept (sloping plains formed by parallel retreat of slopes). A.N. Strahler is associated with quantitative geomorphology. C.H. Crickmay proposed the slope equilibrium concept. Therefore, pairing (b) W.M. Davis: Peneplain is the correct match.
