The correct description of a fall line is:

The line on sloped land that marks where downstream water sources level out and boats can safely travel.

The fall line typically refers to the transition between the uplands and the lowland areas, where rivers descend from higher to lower elevations, often resulting in rapids or waterfalls, and historically served as locations for settlements and trade.
