Answer: Option [C]

The characteristic features of limestone topography are Sink holes and shallow holes.

A sink hole (or swallow hole) is a natural depression or hole in the Earth’s surface commonly found in limestone areas. These holes are developed by enlargement of the cracks found in such rocks, as a result of continuous solvent action of the rainwater. The surface streams which sink disappear underground through swallow holes.
