Which of the following belongs to the upper course of river.

A V-shaped valley belongs to the upper course of a river. The upper course of a river is where the river first starts to flow and is characterized by steep, narrow valleys with fast-flowing water. As the river continues to flow, it begins to erode the sides of the valley and create a V-shape as it cuts deeper into the land. Over time, the river may also create meanders, which are curved sections of the river that form as the water erodes the outer banks and deposits sediment on the inner banks. An ox-bow lake can form when the river erodes the outer banks of a meander so much that it creates a new channel, leaving the old channel to become a lake. Artificial embankments are man-made structures built to control the flow of a river, typically for flood protection or irrigation purposes.
