Correct Answer: meanders
Solution : The correct answer is meanders .
As a river enters the plain, it twists and turns, forming large bends known as "meanders." These are sinuous or winding curves in a river's course, typically occurring in the lower course or floodplain. They develop through a combination of erosional and depositional processes, with the river eroding the outer bank of a bend (cut bank) and depositing sediment on the inner bank (point bar).
