How does the Strahler method rank stream ordering?
A) The magnitude values of two streams that flow into each other are added together to become the magnitude value of the new stream.
B) Stream magnitude will increase only when two streams of the same magnitude flow into each other.
C) Stream magnitude will increase only when a lower-order stream flows into a higher-order stream.
D) The lower-magnitude value of two streams that flow into each other is subtracted from the higher-magnitude value, resulting in the magnitude value of the new stream.

The Strahler method of stream ordering increases the stream order only when two streams of the same order merge. If a stream of a lower order joins a higher order stream, the order remains the same as the higher order stream.
