Solution

The correct answer is: illustrates that a stream's gradient is steeper near its headwaters than near its mouth.

A longitudinal profile of a stream is a graph of the stream's elevation from its source (headwaters) to its mouth. It typically shows a concave upward curve, indicating that the gradient (slope) is steeper near the headwaters and decreases towards the mouth. This is due to the processes of erosion and deposition that occur along the stream's course.
