Correct Answer: delta
Solution : The correct answer is delta .
The river splits into several smaller streams known as distributaries as it gets closer to the sea, and the water flow rate drops. The river starts to deposit its load because it is moving so slowly. Every distributary creates its oral cavity. A delta is created when sediments from every mouth combine to form one.
