Answer:

C. In a river delta is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sediments may deposited In a river delta.

A deposition is a process in which sediments accumulate to the landmass.

Sediment deposition that setting down of sediment is transported by water, ice, and wind.

Sediment in the rivers delta becomes deposited when the rivers slow down, particles which are larger and heavier gets deposit first and lighter one settles if the river is relatively still.
