Option D — Fjord: It is formed when the sea floods a deep U-shaped glacial valley and is associated with typically narrow, deep and steep-sided. Exam Takeaway: Link Meander with “formed by outer-bank erosion and inner-bank deposition” and “common in the middle and lower course of rivers” for quick revision.
