Incised or entrenched meanders indicate what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Deep incision by a river along an older meandering course
The governing concept is rejuvenated fluvial erosion. A meandering river normally erodes sideways, but if uplift occurs or base level falls, renewed energy makes it cut downward while preserving its former bends. The result is an incised or entrenched meander: a deep, narrow valley that retains the old meandering plan. Hence option C is correct; the other options describe deposition by coastal, wind, or cave processes.
