  1. Radial
  2. Rectangular
  3. Trellis
  4. Dendritic

C

D
Dendritic
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The Dendritic pattern develops where the river channel follows the slope of the terrain. The stream with its tributaries resembles the braches of a tree, thus the name dendritic.
A river Joined by its tributaries, at approximately right angles, develops a trellis pattern. A trellis drainage pattern develops where hard and soft rocks exist parallel to each other.
A rectangular drainage pattern develops on a strongly jointed rocky terrain. The radial pattern develops when streams flow in different directions from a central peak or dome like Structure.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
