The description given in the question refers specifically to the bed load, which consists of larger and heavier sediments that are moved along the channel bed by rolling, sliding, or bouncing. The suspended load consists of smaller particles carried by the current in suspension, while the dissolved load refers to the minerals and other materials that are dissolved in the water. The term "flow load" is not commonly used in sediment transport terminology. Therefore, the correct answer is A) Bed load.
