Which sign best identifies glaciofluvial deposits?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Sorted sand and gravel deposited by meltwater.
Glaciofluvial deposits are governed by running meltwater released from a glacier. Flowing water transports sediment and sorts it by size, commonly leaving layers or spreads of sand and gravel. Therefore option D is correct. Unsorted clay is more consistent with very fine or directly deposited material, a wave-cut platform is coastal erosion, and cave-roof calcite is a karst feature rather than a meltwater deposit.
