The shape of watershed is expressed by?
Answer: A
The keyed answer is the shape index.
The shape of a watershed governs how quickly its runoff reaches the outlet: a compact, nearly circular watershed gives a sharper flood peak than a long narrow one. Its shape is expressed by shape indices, the general name for dimensionless ratios such as the form factor (area divided by the square of length) and the compactness coefficient (perimeter compared with that of a circle of the same area).
The form factor and compactness coefficient are particular shape indices, so the general term covers them. The bifurcation ratio describes the branching of the stream network, not the shape of the watershed.
