   Answer: (3) 2 and 4

   उत्तर: (3) 2 और 4

   Creep and solifluction are slow, often imperceptible mass movements. A mudflow is a rapid flow of water-saturated debris, and a slump is a fast, perceptible landslide in which a block of debris slips with a backward rotation, so 2 and 4 are the rapid movements.
