• C. The area were the river originates is called a flood-plain.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Treeless river beds found during the dry season when the river shrinks.

Flood-plains are treeless beds of a river. These are found during the dry season when the river shrinks. It is a treeless bed as every year when it rains heavily, this bed is filled with water allowing no permanent trees or plants to grow here. The river flows amidst it during the dry season.
