Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The site with the finest grained sedimentary deposits would be a location where sediments can settle out of suspension and accumulate over time. Among the options, the lake at E would be the best-suited site for this since lakes have relatively calm water and allow for the settling of fine-grained sediments. The other sites such as mountains, glaciers, braided rivers, and deltas are more likely to have coarse-grained sediments due to the higher energy environment where sediment transport and erosion are dominant processes.
