A)Capacity
B)Discharge
C)Competence
D)Hydro-load factor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Competence refers to the maximum particle size that a stream is capable of transporting. It is determined by the velocity, depth, and turbulence of the stream. The other options are not related to particle size, but rather refer to the amount of water in a stream (capacity and discharge) and a hypothetical factor (hydro-load) that is not commonly used in stream transport terminology.
