Answer: C.Wind and water can transport sediments to a new location.

According to the given situation, this can be concluded that the composition of the sediments is different from the bedrock beneath it because the sediments are deposited by the physical agents such as water, wind and others undergoing processes like weathering and erosion of the parent material and transporting the materials or sediments to the new locations.
