Match the following :

AB
(a) Pools(1) Lagoon
(b) Sapping(2) Headland
(c) Barrier Spit(3) Riffles
(d) Stack(4) Groundwater

  • A.a-3, b-1, c-4, d-2
  • B.a-1, b-2, c-3, d-4
  • C.a-3, b-4, c-1, d-2
  • D.a-4, b-3, c-2, d-1

Answer: C

The correct match is a-3, b-4, c-1, d-2.

  • Pools alternate with riffles along a stream channel: deep, slow stretches with shallow, fast ones (a-3).
  • Sapping is erosion by groundwater seeping out at the base of a slope, which undermines it and lengthens the valley headward (b-4).
  • A barrier spit encloses a lagoon behind it (c-1).
  • A stack is left standing off a headland when an arch collapses (d-2).

The other codes pair pools with lagoons or headlands and sapping with riffles, which do not belong together.
