Hello. You forgot to put the image of the river. This image is attached below:

Answer:

D) the current flowed from right to left

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see in the image below, the clates are positioned diagnostically, from right to left, which can help us conclude that this is how the current flows, influencing the positioning of the clasts.

Clasts are rocky detritus formed by fragments of minerals accumulated over time. They can accumulate in certain places due to the action of wind, water, rain and even human beings.
