David Davis · Answer 1

c. upland surfaces, steep slopes and small alluvial fans

Explanation:

An upland is generally considered to be land that has a higher elevation than the alluvial plain and the stream traces. The uplands are thus located in the steep traces and they are characteristic of the fault uplifts of a desert mountain ranges. And hence lie above the flooding zones.
