The correct answer is **A. Larger**.
Sediments deposited on a mountain are typically larger compared to those deposited downriver. This is because sediments on mountains are often transported by gravity and water down steep slopes, resulting in the deposition of larger particles due to the energy involved. As the sediments travel downstream, they experience a decrease in energy, allowing smaller particles to be carried further while larger particles settle closer to the source.
