Solution

The correct option is C Gorges
In the mature stage or middle course of the river, the flow is relatively slower than in the youthful stage. Some erosional and depositional landforms can be observed in this stage. Ox-bow lakes, meanders, and floodplains are common landforms in this stage. Gorges are a form of landform formed during the Youth stage of the river.
