Correct Answer: Gorge


Solution : The correct option is Gorge.

In its youthful stage, a river carves a dynamic gorge with steep, V-shaped walls and a narrow channel. Energetic currents relentlessly erode the rock, creating a dramatic landscape. The gorge reflects the river's vigour, shaping the terrain with its forceful flow and sculpting the surrounding geography over time.
