Solution

The cycle of erosion is explained by the Davisian and Gilbert's theories. So, the correct answer is C. Davisian and Gilbert's.

Here's a brief explanation of these theories:

  1. Davisian Theory: Proposed by William Morris Davis, this theory suggests that landscapes go through three stages of development - youth, maturity, and old age. Each stage has distinct landforms and features associated with erosion and weathering.

  2. Gilbert's Theory: Proposed by Grove Karl Gilbert, this theory focuses on the balance between the tectonic uplift of the Earth's surface and the weathering and erosion processes that wear it down. Gilbert's theory emphasizes the role of rivers in shaping the landscape.
