Correct answer
B. Oxbow lake
Step-by-step solution
Features of the result of erosion and deposition work of rivers are: - It starts from the source of the river in hilly or mountainous areas. - The river flows down the steep slope and, as a result, its velocity and eroding power are at their maximum. - Streams are few, with poor integration. - As the river flows down with high velocity, vertical erosion or downward cutting will be high which results in the formation of V-Shaped Valleys. - Waterfalls, rapids, and gorges exist where the local hard rock bodies are exp
