Answer: B. temporarily or permanently suspended in the flow

Step-by-step explanation:

Suspended load refers to the sediments in a flowing waterbody that do not settle to the bottom but rather continually move with the motion of the water. They are therefore temporarily or permanently suspended in the flow.

They are usually made up of light and fine particles which can easily be moved such as silt and fine sands.
