  1. Meanders are the features formed by
    1. glaciers
    2. rivers
    3. winds
    4. ocean waters
Correct Option: B

A meander, in general, is a bend in a sinuous watercourse or river. A meander forms when moving water in a river erodes the outer banks and widens its valley. Meandering rivers erode sediment from the outer curve of each meander bend and deposit it on an inner curve further downstream. When a meander gets cut off from the main stream, an oxbow lake forms.
