Answer: (A)

Impact crater is a type of impact landform formed due to collision of astronomical objects. Impact crater is a circular depression formed by the hypervelocity impact of a smaller body. Impact craters should not be confused with landforms like sinkholes, glacial cirques which are different in composition and origin from the impact crater.
