Answer: C. Is near headwaters

A young river is characterized by stream of water that is straight and narrow in width. The water of the young river is fast flowing and exhibit high stream gradient. It does not develop tributaries. A river head water is the source from where the river originated. A young river is typically closer to the site of its origination that is headwaters.
