Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stream shown in the figure exhibits a meandering pattern, characterized by alternating bends and curves in its channel. The stream lacks braids and point bars, so options A and D can be eliminated. The sinuosity of the stream cannot be determined from the figure, so option B is not a valid choice. Therefore, the best answer is C, a meandering stream. Option E is incorrect because not all of the listed features are present in the stream.
