Solution

The correct option is C Fast flowing river
V-shaped valleys are mostly formed in higher altitudes with steep slopes where the force of the river is stronger. Fast flowing water carrying sediments cuts the surface straight downwards at a rapid pace. This is called vertical erosion. But oceans or seas are found near plains,hence V-shaped valleys are not found near seas or oceans.
