Solution

The correct option is A Youthful stage
In the youthful stage, the river flows with full of energy and power. We can observe the vertical erosion at this stage because of the sheer power of the water, cutting the rocks in a vertical fashion. Hence, gorges, valleys, and waterfalls are formed in this stage.
