To select the example that describes erosion, please provide the examples of how sediment can form. Once I have those, I can help you identify which one illustrates erosion.
Sedimentary rock is formed from loose grains of minerals or other rock. These loose grains are called sediment, and they are formed through weathering and erosion.
Weathering breaks down rocks into sediment. Water, wind, ice, and living things can all cause weathering. During weathering, sediment is not moved away from the place where it forms.
However, during erosion, sediment is moved from the place where it formed. Erosion happens when water, wind, or ice moves existing sediment, or creates new sediment and moves it somewhere else.
