B Correct answer
Explanation

Glaciers are classified into two main types based on their size and location: alpine glaciers (also called mountain or valley glaciers) that form in mountainous areas, and ice sheets (continental glaciers) that cover vast areas of land. Option A is incorrect because icebergs are floating ice chunks, not glaciers. Option C describes water types, not glacier types. Option D is not a valid classification.
