What is the common result when a river's carrying capacity decreases?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Alluvium is deposited
A river’s carrying capacity is the amount and size of sediment it can transport under given flow conditions. When discharge, velocity, or channel energy decreases, the river loses competence and cannot keep all its load in motion. Sediment is then deposited, often forming bars, floodplains, levees, or other alluvial features. The other choices describe unrelated processes, so option D is correct.
