Which outcome typically follows meander cutoff in fluvial systems?

💡 Explanation

Meander cutoff results in the formation of an oxbow lake due to channel avulsion; the river adopts a more direct course via channel incision, leaving behind a crescent-shaped water body. Therefore, an oxbow lake forms, rather than delta progradation which results from sediment deposition at a river's mouth, or related factors.
