Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
An alluvial fan is an accumulation of the sediments that fan outwards from a concentrated source of sediments, such as a narrow canyon emerging from an escarpment. This accumulation is shaped like a section of a shallow cone, with its apex at the source of sediments.
