The description given matches the landform of an alluvial fan, which is formed when a stream flows out of high relief into a broad, open plain and deposits sediment in a fan-like shape. Alluvium (A) refers to the sediment deposited by the water, while an alluvial terrace (B) and an unpaired terrace (C) are different types of elevated landforms created by stream erosion and deposition, but do not match the fan shape described. Colluvium (E) refers to sediment deposited at the base of a slope by gravity, and does not match the description either.
