Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) Presence of strong sea currents

For explanation: Three conditions necessary for the formation and growth of a delta are: absence of any strong sea currents; presence of good quality of load in the stream and the slope of seashore where the stream enters the seawater must necessarily be quite gentle and wide.
