- B: It is characterized by a steep gradient leading to the complete absence of riverine islands.
- C: It is highly prone to river channel shifting and contains numerous river island formations like Majuli due to low gradient and high sediment load.
- D: It is primarily composed of older alluvium forming high terraces that are never flooded.
