9. The diagram below shows a meandering stream flowing across nearly flat topography and over loose sediments.

If arrow length represents stream velocity, which diagram best shows the relative stream velocities in this section of the stream?

A)

B)

C)

D)

Correct Answer: Option C

The stream velocity is higher on the outward side and lesser on the inner side of the stream. And the outer and inner side of the stream change as the stream changes direction. Option C correctly depicts the stream velocity, with bigger arrows representing the stream velocity on the inner and outer side.

Hence, options A, B and D are incorrect.
