We find the information in paragraph 2, lines 2-4: One form of mountain glacier that resembles an ice cap in that it flows outward in several directions is called an ice field. The difference between an ice field and an ice cap is subtle.
A form of mountain glacier, which can flow in all directions like an ice sheet, is called a glacial plain. The difference between a plain and an ice sheet is small.
Thus, only option A can replace subtle adjectives (adj): small, few
