Base your answer to the following question on the map below, which represents two bridges that cross the Green River. Letters A, B, and C represent locations in the river. A ball was dropped from bridge 1 at location A and the distance and travel time to location B were recorded. The results are shown in the data table below. After a thunderstorm, the velocity of the river at location C was 100 centimeters per second. What was the largest type of sediment transported by the river at this location?

• pebbles

• cobbles

• boulders

• sand

• silt

• clay
