In a river basin the drainage area is 250 km\(^2\) and the average slope is 12\%. Using the empirical relation \(I = 0.02\,A^{0.5}\,S^{1.2}\) (where \(I\) is the incision rate in mm/yr, \(A\) in km\(^2\) and \(S\) as a decimal), calculate \(I\) to three significant figures and state which type of landform is most likely to develop after long‑term erosion.

Answer Options

A. Incision rate ≈ 0.015 mm/yr; likely a steep canyon (incised valley)
