Explanation:

The Pleistocene epoch is known for repeated glaciations (ice ages) that significantly altered Earth's landscape through processes like glacial erosion, deposition, and the formation of landforms such as moraines, U - shaped valleys, etc. Warming trends alone don't explain the major landscape changes of the Pleistocene. Excavations are human - made and not a major factor in Pleistocene landscape change. Human migration also didn't have a significant impact on the landscape during the Pleistocene compared to glaciation.

Answer:

C. glaciation.
