Solution
The correct option is D Dendritic
The Dendritic pattern develops where the river channel follows the slope of the terrain. The stream with its tributaries resembles the braches of a tree, thus the name dendritic.
A river Joined by its tributaries, at approximately right angles, develops a trellis pattern. A trellis drainage pattern develops where hard and soft rocks exist parallel to each other. A rectangular drainage pattern develops on a strongly jointed rocky terrain. The radial pattern develops when streams flow in different directions from a central peak or dome like Structure.Hence, option D is the correct answer.
