Marine sediment is classified based on the size of the particles and origin of sediment. The two most important factors that determine the nature of a sediment deposit are:
A. Particle-size distribution and energy conditions at the site of deposition
B. Particle-shape and gradient on the ocean floor
C. Particle density and nature of ocean currents
D. Origin of sediment and geological agent involved in transportation of sediment
Answer:A
