Explanation / Answer

2) Option B is correct

It forms bottomset beds.

Bottomset consists of fine-grained sediments, mostly fine-grained horizontally laminated sandy and muddy sediments that are deposited at the lake bottom. The layers are horizontal or only very slightly inclined toward the center of the lake and differ from those in the forest.
