In which erosional plain is an inselberg commonly found

  1. penaplain
  2. pediplain ✓
  3. flood plain
  4. outerwash plain
Explanation

A pediplain forms when slopes retreat and leave a wide, gently sloping rock surface. Resistant remnants stand above it as isolated hills called inselbergs. They are typical of pediplains.

A flood plain is built by river deposition and is not an erosional plain, so inselbergs are not commonly found there.
