In which landform does a river channel divide into many distributaries?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Delta
A delta develops where a river enters a lake or sea, loses velocity, and deposits sediment near its mouth. The accumulated sediment builds bars and islands that obstruct the main channel, causing the flow to split into several smaller distributaries. Hence option C is correct. Mushroom rocks are wind-eroded, sea cliffs are wave-cut, and cirques are glacial hollows, so none forms a distributary network.
