  • A.Playa
  • B.Karstic
  • C.Glacial melt
  • D.Riverine

Answer: D

A scroll lake is a riverine feature.

On the floodplain of a meandering river, the inner bank of each bend builds out as a series of curved ridges called meander scrolls or scroll bars. The low swales between those ridges hold water as narrow, curved scroll lakes, so they belong to the depositional landforms of rivers, alongside ox-bow lakes and levees.

A playa is a shallow lake in a desert basin, karstic lakes form in solution hollows in limestone, and glacial meltwater lakes such as kettle lakes and tarns form in glaciated terrain. None of these is built by a meandering river.
