Solution

The characteristic that is not typical of a lower course river is "Gorges."

Here's why:

In the lower course of a river, the landscape typically flattens out, and the river may meander and create features such as oxbow lakes, floodplains, and deltas or estuaries. The channel of the river is typically large and wide in the lower course.

Gorges, on the other hand, are typically features of the upper course of a river, where the landscape is steeper and the river has a strong erosive force, cutting deep into the river bed and creating narrow, steep-sided valleys.

So, the correct answer is c. Gorges.
