Correct Answer: Only II


Solution : The correct answer is Only II .

  1. Meanders are developed in a river's middle course. The landforms observed in the river stage where lateral erosion transitions from vertical erosion are known as meanderers.
  2. As a meander in the lower course of the river becomes more noticeable, Oxbow Lakes are created. The meander quickly erodes its concave side, forming a circle. The rivers burst through the meander and form a loop because the lateral erosion has sharpened the curve. We call these the Oxbow Lakes.
