Q: What is the name of the location in which a stream or river starts?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

All streams and rivers have several features in common. These features are shown in ( Figure below ). The place where a stream or river starts is its source. The source might be a spring, where water flows out of the ground. Or the source might be water from melting snow on a mountain top. A single stream may have multiple sources. A stream or river probably ends when it flows into a body of water, such as a lake or an ocean. A stream ends at its mouth. As the water flows into the body of water, it slows down and drops the sediment it was carrying. The sediment may build up to form a delta.

 Choices:

- spring

- shore

- mouth

- source
