What does the channel landform do?

Absorbs floodwater
Carries water
Stores potable water
Filters pollutants

The correct answer is: Carries water

A channel landform is a type of land that has a long and narrow depression, such as a river, stream, or creek, that carries water. This landform is specifically designed for the purpose of carrying water from a higher location to a lower location. Options A, C, and D may seem like plausible answers, but they are incorrect. Option A refers to a landform that is specifically designed to absorb floodwater, such as a floodplain. Option C refers to a landform designed to store clean and safe drinking water, such as a reservoir. And option D refers to a landform that is designed to remove pollutants from water, such as a wetland. None of these options accurately describe the purpose of a channel landform.
