Thank you mrs sue for the quick response and I think that its C?!
It is not silt. (I don't think you know what silt is.)
Oh, I thought it was that one but now I see that it's like a clay. But I guess the only other one could be A: backlog?
No.
it’s matter?
The question is asking about detritus, if you were to look up the word detritus or click the link Ms.Sue gave, you would see that the word means debris or rubble in a more simple term so the correct response would be matter as it is a kind of debris and rubble.
So wtf is the answer
The answer is matter
