B)Esker ridge emergence
C)Kame terrace deposition
D)Drumlin field orientation

Tarns fill cirques after glaciers melt because glacial erosion carves profound bowl-shaped depressions. Isostatic rebound influences rates of depression; tarns may not form at all rather than other glacial features under different processes.
