Solution
The correct option is D deltas
As the river nears the sea, it breaks up into tiny streams called distributaries. All these distributaries slowly flow towards the sea. Each of these distributaries deposit their sediments and open up to the sea. Collectively, the sediments that the distributaries deposit, look like a triangle opening up to the sea. These triangle-like landforms created by distributaries near the sea are called deltas.
