B Correct answer
Explanation

Alluvial cones form where mountain streams exit onto gentler slopes, depositing sediment in a fan shape. The piedmont zone (foothill region) is where this transition from steep to flat terrain occurs, making it the ideal location for alluvial cone formation. Coastal belts have different depositional patterns (beaches, deltas), while deltas form where rivers enter standing water.
