c) Plain course 

Answer 2

Meanders are formed in the plain course.

Option: (c)

Explanation:

• Meanders are generally formed in the flood plain. It is a winding curve or a bend which is found in the river.  

• They are presented in the lower and middle course of the river. This is because the river erosion got changed from vertical to lateral erosion.

• Deposition could also be implemented in meander formation. The result will be the snaking pattern in the valley down axis.  

• Whenever a meander got cut off from the main stream, a lake form named as oxbow lake got developed.
