Which landform feature is most likely to occur when a river's sinuosity is significantly increased?

💡 Explanation

When a river's sinuosity increases greatly, neck cutoff occurs because erosion on consecutive meanders reduces the connecting landmass. Therefore oxbow lakes are created, rather than alluvial fans, subsidence, or canyons which result from different geomorphic processes and geological timescales.
