Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the early stages of stream gradation, the stream has high erosive power due to its high velocity and steep gradient. As a result, the capacity of the stream to transport sediment is greater than the amount of sediment supplied to it, leading to downcutting and erosion of the stream channel. Therefore, option A is correct.
