Answer: Option (B)

Explanation: A stream transports its materials in different ways-

Dissolved load - Here, the materials gets dissolved when mixed with water and flows along with the stream. Suspended load - Here, the materials are not fully dissolved in the water but they can be carried from one place to another in suspension mode, by the river. Bed load - Bed load are transported in three different ways such as - Sliding - here, the materials slides down along a curved surface under the water and carried away. Rolling - here, the materials are solid and due to force exerted by water, it can roll and move to distant places. Saltation - here, the materials are carried away in a series of jumps.

Thus, the most appropriate answer is option (B) i. e bedload.
