Explanation / Answer

FALSE.

Explanation : In general, deposition of sediments take place when the velocity of a river is the lowest or it drops suddenly. For a meandering river, sediments are mainly deposited in the inside of meanders (point-bars) or at the center. Braided rivers form when the velocity or gradient of a river drops suddenly and the sediment carrying capacity of the river also falls resulting in the deposition of the sediments in the form of bars or lag deposits.
