Option "D" is correct because
River water volume is less near to the zones from where river originates.
River gradient is the grade measured by the ratio of drop in elevation of a stream per unit horizontal distance, usually expressed as feet per mile or metres per kilometre. This will be maximum where the slope will be high.
Valley cross section steepness is high near the mouth of the river beacause of high slopes & mountain ranges present.
Valley width is least beacuse depth is high.
River channel width is least because the volume of water is less.
Sinuosity increases when the energy of the stream becomes low, but when the river is young it has least sinuosity.
