Answer: Lava flow

Explanation: The sediments are carried away naturally by many agents such as water, ice, streams, lakes , river, et cetera.

Sediments are carried away from one place to another which is required for its movement for the formation of soil, to be available at the places where it is required to be.

The lava flow does not carries sediments from one place to another as it is very dense and it cannot carry sediments along with it.

The lava flow is not considered to be a sediment transporting agent among the choices provided. Basically, a lava flow mainly consists of molten rock that continuously flows as it is ejected from the vent of a volcano. These lava flows are one of the primary effects of a volcanic eruption.
