Answer:

The correct option is;

C. Old Age River

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the three stages of the development of a river, which are the youthful, mature, and old age stages, the old age river is least dynamic

The water is very slow moving with a low gradient and lesser erosive power to alter the landscape which results in the appearance of flood planes

Examples of old age rivers include, lower Ganges, lower Nile, Indus, and Yellow rivers

Old age rivers are characterized by a broad shape, with a wide flood plane, a very gentle gradient and the water current is low.
