Answer 2

d. all of the above

Explanation:

Rivers are formed by abundant amounts of water going down uneven terrain.

They can originate from any of the forms detailed in the options. The abundant precipitations or unmelting of snowy peaks can concentrate large masses of water that can then form rivers or runoffs.

Runoffs are formed by the accumulation of water on a land that is saturated and can not absorb more water.
