The flood plain along river banks formed by newer alluvium is called:

A. Meander

B. River Valley

C. Delta

D. Khaddar

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Alluvium, material deposited by rivers. It is usually most extensively developed in the lower part of the course of a river, forming floodplains and deltas, but may be deposited at any point where the river overflows its banks or where the velocity of a river is checked—for example, where it runs into a lake. The flood plain along river banks formed by newer alluvium is called Khaddar.
