Answer:

The correct answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Stream load can be defined as the amount of solid substances carried by a stream. It is usually in form of bed load, suspended load or dissolved load.

The bed load are the solid substances majorly moving at the bottom of the stream but are occasionally mixed with the water during turbulence but return to the base of the stream after the turbulence.

Suspended load are those solid particles that are a bit smaller and finer than the bed load but also too big to dissolve in the stream's water and are hence transported as suspensions/sediments.

Dissolved load are those solid particles that are dissolved in the stream's water and are transported as solution.

The correct answer for this question would be option C. Interchangeable load is not considered part of the stream's load. Stream's load is defined as the solid matter carried by a stream. Bed load, suspended load and dissolved load are part of the stream's load. Hope this answer helps.
