What can form in a cave when a stalactite and stalagmite meet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Pillar
In a limestone cave, a stalactite hangs downward from the roof, while a stalagmite grows upward from the floor. If continued deposition causes them to join, they form a vertical cave pillar or column. A delta is a river-mouth deposit, a barchan is a wind-shaped dune, and an oxbow lake is formed by river meander cut-off, so option B is correct.
