A Correct answer
Explanation

The Brahmaputra river flows through Assam and is notorious for frequent course changes, particularly in its braided channel sections. This behavior causes severe bank erosion and flooding in the Assam valley. The river carries enormous sediment loads from the Himalayas, which causes it to constantly shift its course, especially during the monsoon season. This makes the Brahmaputra one of the most unstable rivers in the world.
