Question

multiple-choice question
which best matches the environment in which the sedimentary rock was formed?
fast moving water deposits boulders, slow moving water deposits mud
fast moving water deposits mud, slow moving water deposits boulders

Explanation:

Sedimentary rock formation involves sediment deposition. Fast - moving water has more energy to carry and deposit larger particles like boulders. Slow - moving water has less energy, so it deposits finer particles like mud. So the correct statement is "Fast moving water deposits boulders, slow moving water deposits mud".

Answer:

A. Fast moving water deposits boulders, slow moving water deposits mud (assuming the first option is labeled A and the second as B)
