Which sequence of steps describes the life cycle of a lake? A. Runoff fills a depression - sediments build up - water becomes
increasingly shallow
B. Runoff fills a depression - sediments are eroded - water becomes deeper
C. Runoff fills a depression - sediments build up
- water rises continuously
D. Runoff fills a depression - sediments are eroded - water spreads over a wider area

The actual sequence of steps which describe the life cycle of a lake is given below:

C. Runoff fills a depression - sediments build up

- water rises continuously
