What is the relationship between plucking and abrasion on a glacially scoured landscape?

A) Plucking occurs relatively suddenly when a glacier first encounters the landscape, and then if it remains in place for a long
time, abrasion begins to happen later over a long period of time.
B) Abrasion occurs relatively suddenly when a glacier first encounters the landscape, and then if it remains in place for a long
time, plucking begins to happen later over a long period of time.
C) Plucking occurs on the upflow side of a mound or hill that is scoured, while abrasion occurs on the downflow side.
D) Abrasion occurs on the upflow side of a mound or hill that is scoured, while plucking occurs on the downflow side.
