Correct Answer: meanders


Solution : The correct option is meanders .

Meanders are a result of the erosional and depositional processes along a river's course. The outer side of a meander curve experiences erosion (cut bank), while the inner side undergoes deposition (point bar). Over time, this process causes the meander to migrate downstream.

Meanders can vary in size and shape, and they play a crucial role in shaping the landscape and influencing ecosystems along riverbanks.
