B.

(A) - III, (B) - II, (C) - I, (D) - IV

C.

(A) - II, (B) - I, (C) - IV, (D) - III

D.

(A) - IV, (B) - II, (C) - III, (D) - I

Correct option is C

​​(A) Mississippi – (II) Bird-foot Delta:

The Mississippi River has a bird-foot delta. This type of delta is characterized by long, narrow, finger-like projections resembling a bird's foot. It forms in regions with low wave action, allowing the river's sediment to accumulate and build outward into the sea.

(B) Ganga – (I) Arcuate Delta:
The Ganga River forms an arcuate delta, which is crescent-shaped. This type of delta occurs where the river meets the sea in a way that allows for the distribution of sediments in a fan-like shape, such as the Ganges Delta, which is one of the largest in the world.

(C) Narmada – (IV) Estuarine Delta:
The Narmada River forms an estuarine delta. Estuarine deltas form where rivers meet tidal seas or large estuaries, and the tidal action significantly affects sediment deposition. The Narmada's estuarine delta is shaped by these dynamics.

(D) Tiber – (III) Cuspate Delta:
The Tiber River forms a cuspate delta. Cuspate deltas have a distinct triangular shape with sharp points and are formed where the river's sediment deposition is balanced by the action of the waves and currents along the coast.

Information Booster:
Types of Deltas:
Bird-foot Delta: Features long, narrow projections that extend outward from the river mouth, seen in rivers like the Mississippi.
Arcuate Delta: Crescent-shaped, with a fan-like spread of sediment, such as the Ganges Delta.
Estuarine Delta: Formed where the river meets a tidal or estuarine environment, like the Narmada Delta.
Cuspate Delta: Triangular, with sharp points and formed by a balance between river deposition and wave action, as seen with the Tiber River.
