____ is formed at the river mouth and is often affected by incoming tides.
A
fjord
B
delta
C
plateau
D
canyon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As sediment travels out of the delta into the sea, high tides and flood tides confine sediment on the delta plain and low tides carry sediment seaward. Tide-dominated deltas typically occur in locations of large tidal ranges or high tidal current speeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -A tidal bore occurs along a coast where a river empties into an ocean or sea. A tidal bore is a strong tide that pushes up the river, against the current. A tidal bore is a true tidal wave.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rivers drain toward large bodies of water such as the ocean. Sediment carried by the river will accumulate at the mouth of the river to form a delta. Tidal currents from the ocean create a redistribution of sediment as well as a change in geometry.
