Which river feature develops when a cutoff occurs?

💡 Explanation

The cutoff causes meander shortening via stream erosion; therefore, an oxbow lake forms due to the abandoned meander loop becoming isolated, rather than increased sediment deposition, because streamflow redirection halts sediment input to the cutoff.
