Do plains, plateaus, or mountains have the lowest elevation? The lowest relief?

How does the bedrock structure of plateaus, plains, and mountains differ?

Which terms best describe the surface landscapes of A, B, C, and D? Landscape Region Relief Bedrock A great relief, high peaks, deep valleys faulted and titled structure; many bedrock types, including igneous B moderate relief, rounded peaks, wide valleys folded sedimentary bedrock C moderate to high relief horizontal sedimentary bedrock layers D very little relief, low elevations horizontal sedimentary bedrock layers
