Which outcome is most likely after an oxbow lake forms due to river meandering?

💡 Explanation

When a river meander is cut off, an oxbow lake forms because the main flow bypasses the bend, resulting in sediment deposition. Therefore accumulation of fine sediment results, rather than subsidence, trenches or volcanic eruptions which are unrelated to fluvial systems.
