Yes, you are correct. 1 is C and 2 is D
1) A salt, in chemistry, is any ionic compound composed of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is neutral (without a net charge). (from wikipedia).
The primary salt precipitated in a stalagmite is calcium carbonate.
2) Loess is composed of very fine windblown silt derived from glacial grinding of the rocks it moved over (glacial flour)
