A river terrace may indicate what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: River cutting into an older floodplain
A river terrace is a step-like bench left above the present channel. It commonly forms when a river is rejuvenated or its base level falls, causing renewed vertical erosion. The river cuts down into its former floodplain, while part of that older surface remains at a higher level. Therefore option A is correct; the other choices describe coastal, aeolian, or karst processes, not fluvial incision.
