Wetlands located in the low-laying depressions and flood plains associated with :
Answer: D
Such wetlands are associated with a river.
Flood plains are the flat lands beside a river that it floods periodically, and low-lying depressions on them, such as oxbow lakes, backswamps and marshes, hold water after floods. These riverine (riparian) wetlands are fed and renewed by the river's flood pulse.
Lake-fringe (lacustrine) wetlands and ponds lie in basins, not on flood plains, and dammed water forms reservoirs, which are artificial. Only the river creates flood plains.
