Answer:

The correct answer is "sediment".

Step-by-step explanation:

A sediment is defined as a solid material that settles down to the bottom of a liquid. Sand grains, pebbles, mud, shells, and leaves are all examples of sediment. The size of a sediment variables from small particles that could be of 2 millimeters (in the case of sand grains), to particles as large as 250 millimeters (in materials such as cobble).
