Solution
The correct option is D levees
When rivers flood, the finer particles are deposited far away from the banks of the river. The coarse particles are heavy and settle near the banks of the river. As these coarse sediments keep getting deposited, with time, raised banks are created next to rivers. These raised banks are called levees.
