Which outcome develops along a stream carrying a heavy alluvial sediment load during flood recession?

💡 Explanation

Braided channel patterns occur if a river has high sediment owing to sediment deposition, because the high sediment load overwhelms the stream's transport capacity leading to channel-splitting, therefore answering A; rather than downcutting which requires energy and low sediment.
