Meander
B.
River Valley
C.
Delta
D.

Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Alluvium, material deposited by rivers. It is usually most extensively developed in the lower part of the course of a river, forming floodplains and deltas, but may be deposited at any point where the river overflows its banks or where the velocity of a river is checked—for example, where it runs into a lake. The flood plain along river banks formed by newer alluvium is called Khaddar.
