Solution

The correct option is C The mixing of eroded material in water as the river flows to flatter regions
The running water creates a variety of landforms through erosion, transportation, and deposition. Denudation starts when the river leaves its source. Along its course, the water and its sediments constantly erode the rocks and other obstacles that come in its path. The eroded material gets mixed in the water and transported with the flow. Finally, the eroded material gets deposited, and landforms are created.
