Solution
The correct option is B Dendritic
- In geomorphology, drainage systems, also known as river systems, are the patterns formed by the streams, rivers and lakes in a particular drainage basin.
- Dendritic drainage systems are the most common form of drainage system. In a dendritic system, there are many contributing streams (analogous to the twigs of a tree), which are then joined together into the tributaries of the main river (the branches and the trunk of the tree, respectively).
- They develop where the river channel follows the slope of the terrain.
