Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is A Tributaries. ∙ Smaller rivers that flow into larger rivers are known as tributaries.
Detailed explanation-2: -As one moves along a stream in the downstream direction: Discharge increases, as noted above, because water is added to the stream from tributary streams and groundwater.
