D:till

Till is an unsorted glacial sediment. Glacial drift is a general term for the coarsely graded and extremely heterogeneous sediments of glacial origin. Glacial till is that part of glacial drift which was deposited directly by the glacier. It may vary from clays to mixtures of clay, sand, gravel and boulders. A particularly sticky form of clay till is called gumbo. Clay in till may form balls called till balls. If a till ball rolls around in a stream and picks up rocks from the bed of the stream and becomes covered with them it may become an armored till ball.

D) They create Till.

Till is a sediment made up of various materials, often including rocks that are oriented on their long axis relative to flow direction of the glacier. Close examination of tills can tell what the direction of glacier flow was as well as the materials the glacier moved over, as it eroded the materials that it then deposits as a till.
