View question detailsA river valley is a long, usually low area formed as flowing water erodes and removes material from the land. In the upper and middle courses, river action can cut downward and sideways, producing a valley whose shape depends on slope, rock type, discharge, and time. Erosion is therefore the main process in this school-level question.
Option B is correct because river erosion directly explains valley formation. Sea salt and desert dust do not create a typical river valley, and moonlight has no erosional role. Rivers may also deposit sediment in some places, but the basic formation of a valley is linked here with the river cutting into the land during its flow.
